The SweatSox have played the Ottawa Mudd 26 times since the team formerly from Metcalfe dropped down to Tier 2 in 2007.\u00a0 We may have only played Winchester more times, but half those games don\u2019t really count since they\u2019re played on field originally designed for 10 year olds.\u00a0 The Mudd lead the lifetime series 14-12; with a mathematical mean score of 5-3 per game.\u00a0 Basically, the SweatSox can\u2019t score runs against the Mudd.\u00a0 That didn\u2019t change this past Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Having played 3 of our first 5 games at Southgate, we finally got a treat playing at the Sportsplex.\u00a0 While 12 SweatSox enjoyed a nice pregame warmup on a real field, the 7 Mudd players were scrambling for ETA\u2019s on the rest of their starting lineup.\u00a0 Somehow they found 10 bodies to dress, which meant no SweatSox default win, which ultimately meant doom for the SweatSox.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t count the 3rd inning, where the Mudd scored 3 runs off 4 hits, it was a 0-0 game.\u00a0 Unfortunately you have to count them all, and so the Mudd shutout the SweatSox for the 5th, and likely not the last time.\u00a0 To make matter worse, we only had 2 hits (Marc Lett, Kent Johnston), and only got 1 runner to 3rd base (John Groves).<\/p>\n
