The Warlocks face the H-Town Sluggers in the Sub-League Series, another good offensive team but one that we should be able to score against. We hold a 4-3 lead in the eighth of Game 1 when Giovanni Gallegos gives up a meatball to Pete Alonso, and we lose, 5-4. We win Game 2 in an uneventful game, 5-2. Anthony Rendon looks like the hero for us in Game 3, breaking a 4-4 tie with two-run homer in the ninth, but Osuna blows the save and we fall, 7-6. Argh. But Game 4 is ours thanks to a combined two-hitter, and it’s a three-game series after a 4-0 win. The pivotal Game 5 is all theirs, as Mike Caldwell gets torched and we fall, 7-0. So it’s back home needing two wins.

We don’t get it. Adam Wainright is awful in Game 6, and we’re down 8-0 after six. We fight back to 8-5, but ultimately lose the game and the series.

This is a fine team that will no doubt struggle next year in Silver. Upgrades are needed.
