We start a 3 game series at home to the Hattiesburg Ospreys today and it is going to be tough as they lead the division on 7-3 while we sit bottom on 4-6.

The manager has decided that the following line up will be the one to attempt to get the win.

LF Angelo Mendoza
SS Steve Bielecki
3B Joshua Mills
1B Angelo Espinal
DH Chris LaBuff
RF Pat Palin
Catcher Tomas Ayala
2B Matt Crubaugh
CF Chris LaVacca

Pitching for us today is Antonio Torres. Torres has gone 1-1 for the year with a win against the Biloxi Jackals.

Top of the first and we get Colombo and a ground out at first. Barker picks up a single to centre field. Torres gets his first strike out taking White with a fast ball. Torres then gets Carder the same way to retire the Ospreys from the first.

Bottom of the first and Mendoza gets a ground out as our first at bat. Bielecki then strikes out to see me come up to bat with an empty diamond. I hit a hopper over to third and find myself tagged out at first for the side to be retired. The game is scoreless.

Top of the second and Maytubby gets the Ospreys on base with a single. Watts goes down swinging for another strike out. Torres gets strikeout number 4 with Monaco swinging wildly. Briggs ends the inning with a fly out to short stop.

Bottom of the second and we start with a fly out by Espinal. Our first base hit of the game comes from LaBuff who hits a strong one to right field that lands by the wall for a double. Palin has his first bat of the day but goes down swinging. LaBuff then gets stranded as Ayala grounds out to centre field. The score remains 0-0.

Top of the third and we get lucky first up as a strong hit from LeCain just falls in left field for Mendoza to make the catch as the wind holds the ball up. Colombo grounds out to first. We then get Barker on a ground out to get the side retired.

Bottom of the third and Crubaugh starts off with a ground out. Lavacca nearly gets one away next but it is caught at the left wall. Mendoza then grounds out to second base. The score is still 0-0

Top of the fourth and Torres gets White with a strike out before the top batter on the Ospreys gets the scoring going with a solo home run that goes 342 feet. He has a hit in all 11 games so far this year. Maytubby flies out and Watts is struck out to end the inning. We trail 1-0 after that home run.

Bottom of the fourth and Bielecki fails with a ground out to left. I come up next looking to get us started. I fail as a line drive is snared at second on the fly. Espinal then strikes out to leave the score 1-0 in the ospreys favour.

Top of the fifth and Monaco is caught on a pop up behind home plate by Ayala. Briggs is struck out swinging by Torres. LeCain goes the same way.

Bottom of the fifth and LaBuff strikes out. Palin also strikes out. Ayala gets the inning going with a single to right centre but Crubaugh grounds out to end the inning. We still trail 1-0

Top of the sixth and Colombo flies out to centre field. Espinal gets Barker at first base. Torres then gives White a walk bringing up Carder again. The manager decides to make a pitching change at this point calling for Andres Sevilla. Sevilla keeps the game alive by striking out Carder.

Bottom of the sixth an LaVacca strikes out as our first at bat. Mendoza grounds out to right field before Bielecki gets a base hit to right. This brings me up to try and keep our inning going in our search for the first run. I fail again popping a ball out to left centre to be taken on the fly. We still trail 1-0

Top of the seventh and Sevilla gives Maytubby a walk. LaVacca then gets Watts with an outstanding diving catch. Mascoll comes in as a pinch hitter and gets a base hit as Espinal has to scrabble for the ball. The pinch hitting Pickens is then walked to load the bases. Sevilla gives up a third walk to see Maytubby home and Thorstad move to first on his first bat of the day. Colombo Strikes out. We then get Barker on a ground out to end the inning 2-0 down.

Bottom of the seventh. Espinal starts us off with a base hit out to left centre. LaBuff grounds out to third but it sees Espinal to second. Palin grounds out to short to leave the inning with only 1 out left. Ayala then flies out to short centre to see the game remain 2-0 for the ospreys.

Top of the eighth and the manager changes pitcher with Chris Swindell moving onto the mound. He gives white a walk first up but gets Carder with a strike out. He also gets Maytubby with a strike out. Cesar Arocho comes in to pitch after this. He gives a base hit up to Watts first up. The manager immediately pulls him and sends in Hector Castaneda for the next batter. Castaneda gives up a base hit to Mascoll to see White sprint for home and another run. He then proceeds to give a triple up to Dray after the throw from Palin to myself doesn't get to me in time. Watts and Mascoll score runs for the Ospreys as the game starts to get away from us. Thorstad gets an RBI single up next as Dray scores. Colombo then flies out to end the inning but it is all but over with the Ospreys leading 6-0.

Bottom of the eighth and we need something big. Crubaugh doesn't help as he strikes out. LaVacca grounds out to right field then Mendoza strikes out. We still trail 6-0.

Top of the ninth and we continue to fall apart as Barker hits a solo home run 351 feet to start the ninth. White then hits a double out to centre. Carder also gets a double to bring White home. Maytubby strikes out. LaVacca gets Watts on the fly and then Mascoll strikes out to end the inning. We now trail 8-0 with only 3 outs left.

Bottom of the ninth and we all need to start hitting to save the game. Bielecki gets a double to start the inning. I am up next and need to get a hit to justify my game as I have done nothing so far. It doesn't happen as I fly out to the infield again. Bielecki moves to third as Espinal grounds out to 3B. LaBuff gets a walk. We finally get on the board as Palin gets a single to centre field that brings Bielecki home. Ayala strikes out to end the game.

We have lost 8-1 and we were never in the game. I had a disaster of a game with 0-4.

We face the Ospreys again tomorrow and it does not bode well.
