I am not sure I should write up today's debacle but here goes.

Transactions saw us lose a couple of pitchers including Ray Petty who pitched yesterday. We did gain a couple of replacements coming down the team lists so hopefully they will help us.

The second game of 2 against the Metairie Silverbacks and I get my second start at Third Base. Lets hope we can play better than yesterday.

Line-up
LF Angelo Mendoza
2B Case McCauley
SS Steve Bielecki
1B Chris LaBuff
3B Joshua Mills
DH Joe Van Alstyne
RF Pat Palin
Catcher Tomas Ayala
CF Jose Becerra

Pitching for us today is Dave Ziobro

We start out well in the top of the first as only Totten manages a base hit off of Ziobro.

The bottom of the first sees Angelo Mendoz start with a double and then move to third on a ground out by Casey McCauley. Then Bielecki and LaBuff strike out to retire the side.

The start of the second is ok with another strike out before it all starts to unravel. Mark Meek singles as does Jim Endress moving Meek to third. Chris Lyons makes base after being hit by a pitch and Endress moves to second. Herron then flies out but it allows Meek to tag up and run for home for the Silverbacks first score. Brian Risoli then doubles to right field that sees Endress and Lyon put 2 more on the board for the Silverbacks. Ziobro gets out from the inning with a final strike out to leave us 3-0 behind.

I lead off the bottom of the second only to fly out to left field and start the second game the way I finished the first. Pat Palin manages a single in the inning but we have very little else.

The top of the third sees Matt Totten start for the Silverbacks and to make all Wasps fans really hate him he hits a solo home run to make it 2 against us in as many games. Ziobro gets through the rest of the inning without any issues. We are down 4-0 at this point. I managed to gather 2 of the outs for Ziobro.

The bottom of the third sees go down 1, 2, 3 with fly outs and ground outs.

The top of the fourth and Ziobro finally collapses. He gives a double to Chris Lyons and then Kyle Hroon steps up to crack a 2 run homer for 361 feet. Oh how I wish it was me doing that. Jeremy Miller puts in a double to see Ziobro pulled. Replacement pitcher Gus Flores gets us out of the inning. We are down 6-0 at this point.

The bottom of the fourth and we continue to go over like dominoes. I am up second and hit another fly out, this time to left field. We remain 6-0 down

The top of the fifth and Gus Flores gives Hoople a base on balls. This is followed by a double from Endress and a single from Lyons that sees Hoople and Endress score. The inning finishes next batter up but we still fall further back at 8-0. I managed to catch a fly out from Cheron.

The bottom of the fifth and we finally get a spark. Tomas Ayala reaches on an error by their centre fielder going to second base. The next up is Jose Becerra who also manages to make base on an error. This error saw Ayala round third and scamper home for our first run. The final 2 outs were regulation ground outs and we are left trailing 8-1.

Top of the sixth Brian Risoli starts with a walk from Gus Flores before Wasp killer Totten steps into the box again. And yes I call him killer for a reason. He proceeds to hit another home run and score 2 more runs for the Silverbacks. Flores gets through the rest of the inning and we trail 10-1.

The bottom of the sixth was a domino effect again as we go down 1, 2, 3 with me being third up. I am struck out swinging at the 0-2 pitch.

The top of the Seventh sees Gus Flores get one more batter as Meek singles before he is pulled and Nick Thompson is sent for. My rooommate Pat Palin then proceeds to drop the next batter and pick up an error as he allows Meek to second and a base hit for Endress. There follows a single by Lyons which scores Meek with Endress scampering home close behind. Lyons then steals second as the next batter strikes out. Thompson gets through the rest of the inning. We are down 12-1 at this point

The Bottom of the seventh sees Joe Van Alstyne get a single only for Palin to compound his error in the previous inning by grounding into a double play that sees both himself and Alstyne retired. Ayala struck out.

Top of the eighth and Thompson proceeds to give Totten a walk, Hoople a single that sees Totten to third before Cheron flies out but gets Totten home after he tags up. Meek then also walks and moves Hoople to second. A double from Endress scores Meek and Hoople and sees the end of Thompson on the mound. The manager sends in Hector Castaneda who promptly gives a base to Lyons by hitting him with a pitch before allowing Herron to triple, scoring both Endress and Lyons. Risoli then grounds out but Herron still gets home. This inning gives the Silverbacks another 6 runs to leave us 18-1 behind.

The bottom of the eighth sees only Casey McCauley make base and again that was due to a fielding error.

Top of the ninth and we finally manage to find some control with only a single for Cheron. I fielded the Single but didn't have time for the throw to first and the tag.

Bottom of the ninth and to finish us off we went 1, 2, 3 again and I hit another fly out as second batter up.

We lose the game 18-1 and as you can guess the locker room is not a happy place to be after the game.

I went 0-4 with 1 strike out.

We face a new team at home tomorrow so hopefully our form and luck will turn.
