UPPER KINSMEN<\/strong>– The SweatSox\u2019s eight-game winning streak against the Coyotes, a record dating back to early 2004, came to a dramatic end on Sunday as they fell 10-9 in a thrilling, back-and-forth contest at Upper Kinsmen. The SweatSox, who entered the game with a 2-3 record, fought fiercely, but ultimately couldn\u2019t hold off a Coyotes team bolstered by a key last-minute addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a game that saw six lead changes, the Coyotes secured victory with a go-ahead run in the top of the 7th inning. The SweatSox had a chance to respond in the bottom half, but newly-signed Coyotes pitcher Jeremie Goyer was electric in his NCBL debut. Just hours after signing, Goyer not only went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored, but he also struck out three SweatSox in the 7th to clinch the save. If only someone would have Kikuchi\u2019d him at some point during the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Seguin took the win on the mound for the Coyotes, while Eric White, who surrendered the go-ahead run in the final inning, was tagged with the loss. White, however, shone on offense, going 2-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, a run scored, and five RBIs, including a crucial bases-loaded triple that pulled the SweatSox back into contention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defensively, Kent Johnston delivered a standout performance in center field, making a season-high three catches, while Josh Ramage was named the \u201cSweatiest Player of the Game\u201d after pitching six innings of 12-hit ball and collecting his 69th career no-decision. Ramage also contributed at the plate with two hits and a team-leading two runs scored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Bond kept the SweatSox\u2019s hopes alive with a timely two-run single in the 6th inning to tie the game, but in the end, it was the Coyotes who prevailed, putting a dramatic stop to the SweatSox\u2019s dominance in the rivalry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memorable game included an instant classic quote from SweatSox player Trevor Williams: \u201cHere\u2019s the deal, I\u2019m the best there is. Plain and simple. I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SweatSox will look to bounce back Tuesday as they take on the Barons at Brewer Park.<\/p>\n\n\n

NOTE<\/strong>: Our keen-eyed Twitter followers probably noticed that this is the 2nd straight game where I, Shaun Keay, haven\u2019t posted a game recap tweet.  This was not by accident (or laziness), this is a direct challenge to Josh Ramage.  Lately, Ramage seems to be caring more about our socials than producing on the baseball field, so until he brings his batting average back up to .400, picks up a W on the bump, and gets Tier 3 Player of the Week honours, there will be no post-game tweets.  I may still do the pregame ones to appease our sponsors.<\/p>\n\n\n
