Lords and Ladies drop a squeaker to RBI'd For Your Pleasure

Weather issues have been front and centre for a couple weeks now, what with a brief rain delay during the fourth game of the Lords and Ladies' season. In the end, the team kept it close, losing a heart-breaker by only 17 runs on Tuesday prevening.

The game started off promising. The defence held fairly well, allowing only two runs to RBI'd in the top of the first. Then, using a different lead off hitter for the third time this year, Jeremy opened the bottom of the first with an inside the park home run. Unfortunately, that was the only run that inning. The team scored another in the second, but in the top of the third, they allowed 8 runs for the second consecutive inning. By the time the skies opened up, the Lords and Ladies were way behind.

After the rain delay, the team took care of RBI'd in the top of the fourth, only allowing 4 runs. Trailing by twenty going into the bottom of the fourth (which would be the last inning due to curfew), the Lords and Ladies made a valiant effort for the team's youngest fan, scoring three and barely losing to a tough division rival.

The Lords and Ladies injury report is continually growing, and now reads:

Chris M. (leg)
Diana (ACL)
Mike (knee)
Brian (foot)
Meaghan (back - trapeze accident)
Erick (Ego)

Fan attendance was estimated at a strong three, which is pretty close to a sellout.

Game MVP goes to Alex: 2 for 2, with a double and a triple.

Best Dressed goes to Chris M.!

Next game will be Thursday June 28 @ Fission Chips, on Kinsmen South.
