NEPEAN<\/strong>– The SweatSox dropped our second game of the season, and second in a row after a 6-3 loss vs Team Cuba this past Tuesday night at the Sportsplex.  The Cubans led from beginning to end, holding a 6-1 lead in the 7th until we scored a few in garbage time to make it look closer than it actually was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SweatSox were a perfect 7-0 over Team Cuba in the lifetime series, having first met at the 2015 Heritage Classic (WP- Cornell), and most recently last week on Opening Day (WP- Ramage).  The SweatSox could only hold the Cubans off for so long though, and they finally broke through using an effective combination of strong pitching, clutch hitting, and constantly throwing bats at our almost very old catcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story of the SweatSox vs Team Cuba game last week was Josh Ramage coming up just 2 outs shy of his first solo no-hitter.  Team Cuba wasted no time breaking up the Hero of Hydration’s no-no this time around, leading the game off with a triple to left, hit just beyond the reach of a diving Chris Lidstone, who laid face first on the ground in the outfield for the first time since his infamous \u201ctoe-pick incident\u201d of 2019.  Unfortunately, Liddy had to head home in the 3rd inning to deal with a personal matter, making it the first time he\u2019s removed himself from a game since his infamous \u201cgotta go poop incident\u201d of 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a roller coaster of a day for Craig Cornell, who was batting leadoff for the first time in recent memory.  Our Consultant played a team high 3 positions (making spectacular catches at both 2B and LF<\/em>), was yelled at mid-pitch by the catcher right before he swung the bat to start the game (they made up a few innings later)<\/em>, and was even robbed of a GLE-style triple down the right field line late in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most notably though, as leadoff Sexy Eyes was the first of many SweatSox to experience the old head to toe strike zone, that was even more east west than it was north south. A shame our manager didn\u2019t recognize this sooner and put in someone who could throw the ball anywhere the batter couldn\u2019t physically reach it. The Arsonist was just too accurate.  What a frustrating 7 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
