Needless to say when your pitching is off and your bats are cold the scoreboard isn't going to paint a pretty picture. Sluggers lose 12-3
Sluggers take down the Hornets
On a cool Tuesday evening the Sluggers battled the Hornets from Bill Arp Park. Not only was the weather cool so were the bats on both sides, the game only saw 3 hits on the night. The game came down to pitching and which team made the fewest mistakes. Miller had a good outing on the mound for the Sluggers putting in 3 innings of work and posting 5 strikeouts on the night. Aylsworth took the hill in the 4th inning and closed out the game posting 4 strikeouts of his own. The only hit of the night for the Sluggers came from Echols with a slide into 2nd base double. But in the end the Slugger's pitching was more then the Hornets could handle. Sluggers win 7-4

In the bottom of the 6th Echols reached on a H.B.P. followed by a clutch single from Smith. Aylsworth reached on a walk. Bomar then hit a single and earned a R.B.I. Butler then came up with a single advancing the runners on base. Ellison reached base on a walk. Kachev then reached on a fielder's choice and was credited with a R.B.I.

Posting hits on the game were Miller (single) Echols (single) Aylsworth (single/RBI) Bomar ( 2 singles) Butler (single/RBI) Kachev (single) and Black (single). The story of the day however was great defense and pitching from the Sluggers. Aylsworth pitched a complete game and was rewarded the win!! Sluggers post the win 8-2
Bremen takes the Sluggers
The Demons from Bremen paid a visit to Fairplay and even though the Sluggers out hit the Demons they didn't our score them. The Sluggers struggled on the hill going through 4 pitchers for the game. The Sluggers tried to mount a come back in the final inning but came up short. Sluggers lose 12-8
Sluggers drop one to the Warriors
 The old saying, " Hit'em where there not," didn't apply to the Sluggers when they played the Warriors this Saturday. The Sluggers put the bat on the ball but the hits didn't reach the gaps. Some big shots were posted but the Warriors were in good position to catch either the pop flys or line drives. Posting hits were Miller starting off the game with a huge stand-up double. Bomar came up big with a monster smash triple, and Echols kept the rally alive in the 6th inning with a much needed single. Kachev had a great day on the hill with a strong 4 inning showing and posting 7 strikeouts. Smith had a huge play from behind the dish catching a Warrior sleeping on 3rd and created a rundown with Smith applying the tag for the out. Overall the game was better then the scoreboard indicated. But thats baseball for you, better luck next time Sluggers.
