The Mighty Bombers take a Shot to the Chin
Coming off a 14 hit attack against the Rangers, on Friday, the Yankees were looking to build momentum and keep sole position of second place. The Nationals had other things in mind. The Nats needed a win to force a three way tie for second place, and they came ready to play. When the smoke cleared, the boys in red walked away with a 10-0 victory, leaving The Mighty Bombers licking their wounds. The Yanks only managed 3 singles and struck out 12 times. Hayden (The Hammer) Mitchell, Chase (The Mighty) Meniatis, and Adrei (The Big Cat) Buado had the lone hits for the Yankees. Starter Anthony (The Big Easy) Lozano pitched well in his 2 and 2/3 innings; striking out 5. Base running and outfield coach; J.B. True put in all in perspective saying, “we had no energy tonight, we were just flat”. “If the Yankees are looking to stay in contention they`re going to have to perform much better and be more consistent,” says manager; Craig Mitchell. Will the Mighty Bombers be able to rebound from this embarrassing defeat? or will the Yankees sink into oblivion? Stay Tuned!
With the loss the Bombers fall to 3-2, clinging to a second place tie with the Nationals and Reds.
