When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside. You gotta take a stand, it don’t help to hide. Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride, I gotta be a man; I can’t let it slide. I am a real Stittsvillian. Fight for the rights of every man. I am a real Stittsvillian. Fight for what’s right, fight for your life! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!
And now, in my own words, a breakdown of last night’s SweatSox vs Los Latinos match-up:
KRC– It’s been a while since the SweatSox have been no-hit, we believe Brett Verberne of the Braves was the last to do it sometime in the early 2010’s, but that all changed last night when Paul Septimo of Los Latinos threw a 6-inning complete game, giving up 0 hits.
Even though we didn’t get a single hit (or a double hit, or a triple hit), the SweatSox did manage to get 11 runners on base via walks and reach on errors, but we couldn’t even score any of those.
SweatSox lose 8-0.
Eric White got the nod on the bump, but admittedly didn’t have his best stuff, which was probably a good thing since we had 0 offense to offer up. White threw 4 innings, giving up 10 hits, 2 walks, 5 earned, and just 1 strikeout. He also lost a bit of ground in the Tier 3 MVP race against the now favourite Septimo.
Offensively, the SweatSox were led by Cory Bond (0/0, 3BB) and Kent Johnston (0/1, 2BB), with an honourable mention going to Trevor Williams who was 0/2 with 2 ROE.
Defensively, Craig Cornell led the way with 3 assists, 1 putout, and 0 errors from the third base position.
Not much else to say about this one.
NEXT UP for the SweatSox is our final matchup of the season against the Rockets, Tuesday night at the Sportsplex.
Close enough…
