Blue Claw's Can't Hang On , Lose by 2.

Blue Claws managed to strike early with 3 runs in top of the first, but the bats went quite and the pitching couldn't hold on, as Washington gets a come from behind win 5-3.

The come from behind was complete when Blue Claw's pitcher Pedro Ramirez gave up a 2 run blast to Catcher Kurt Booth.
Pedro still seems to be shaking off some rust after his DL stint, hanging a curveball right in Booth's wheel house and Booth didn't disappoint.

Boxscore:



The Lose brings Baltimore back to .500 once again. This club is having a real tough time getting over the hump. The seem to get a few games over .500 and then revert back to losing.
