Allerdice drops the ball against Spring St.

Milton, NY-----This Wednesday Allerdice (2-5) was plagued by errors, set new lows in fielding, and also ended a two game winning streak.

Oddly enough, It snapped a two game losing streak for Spring Street Deli (5-2) when these two teams battled it out. In the early innings it seemed like an even match up much like the last time they met. However, Spring St. pulled ahead in the 6th for good and then added some heavy insurance in the 7th.

Starting Pitcher E. Thompson (1-1) pitched a solid 7 innings for the Dice walking none and striking out none. Thompson showed no signs of fatigue until the 6th when Spring St. mustered a string of 6 hits. This put Spring Street ahead 10-7. It was the first major signs of offense from the Deli. The 7th was even more damaging with a leadoff error followed by 5 straight hits to the gaps and two more errors that capped off an 8 run rally for the Deli.

Spring St. Starting Pitcher Brums (4-2) was backed up by a solid defense that committed no errors the whole game.

Spring St. SS Rez was 4-4 in the game with 2 triples, 2 doubles and 3 runs scored. SF J.K. and LF Lippy both had 4 RBI's a piece.

Allerdice's P E. Thompson(.818, 9-11) was 2 for 2 at the plate including a sac fly in the fifth.

Other notables include 2B/3B Ryan Taylor going 3 for 3 raising his average to .500 (11-22).

Slugging leadoff LF Boughton(.750, 8 doubles, 3 triples, and 10 RBI's) was 3 for 4 with 3 runs scored in his return to the club. Team Captain Moe(.556) played EH and was 2 for 4 with a season high 4 RBI's in his return to the lineup from Hawaii.

SF Melissa Kirkland continued her hot hitting streak by going 2-4 with 1 run and an RBI.

CF Sloppy Joe (.583, 2HR, 11 RBI's) lead off the 7th with his 2nd homerun of the year. He leads the club in homeruns and is the only person on the club with a homerun.

RF Gaborow was 0-3 at the plate dropping his average to (.500).

Next week Allerdice(2-5) will stay at Milton and face the Circus Cafe(1-6). The Circus, no joke, rounds out the bottom in power rankings with 58 runs for and 120 against.

Allerdice will likely send either Gaborow(1-2, 18.62 ERA) or Moe (0-1, 36.00 ERA) to pitch against the Circus and Keep E. Thompson for relief.

** The dice committed a season high errors with 10 in their game against Spring St.

**The Dice ranks 7th in power rankings with 78 runs for and 103 against.
