Welcome to Day 4 of the SweatSox 14 Days of SweatMas SweatSite Extravaganza. FYI: This recap is by far the worst one yet.

“Melinda” – SweatSox vs Bytown Battalion III Recap
I’ve got some good news, and I’ve got some bad news. The good news is after 12 days off the SweatSox were back in action late last week, which means you finally get a brand new recap to read! The bad news is I had much better things to do since then so I only…

“Larry” – SweatSox vs River Hawks III Recap

“The Hidden Player Trick” – SweatSox vs River Hawks II Recap
Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d say this year: The SweatSox were looking to make it 2 in a row last night at Southgate, when we took on the River Hawks on our side of the river. This game was a big one for the SweatSox, who are no longer chasing the #BangBang Outlaws…

“The Unearned Win” – SweatSox vs Cubs II Recap
The SweatSox kicked off the second half of our season last night in Kanata, as we took on the Capital City Cubs for the second time this year. After going 0-12 in the first half, the SweatSox were open to anything to try and turn the season around, including activating Ross Hughes off the DL. The…
