Scott Carroll pitched a complete game, but it all went for naught as the Mudcats fell to 0-3 in the second half of their Southern League schedule in a 2-1 road loss to the Tennessee Smokies.
Meanwhile the Bulls fell victim to a 9-1 drubbing at Indianapolis.
The Bulls will return home Friday night against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, while the Mudcats will have three more at Tennessee before coming home on Monday against the Jacksonville Suns.

The Bulls got their only run in the third on a Desmond Jennings single.
