Unlucky 13 for Seoul Wyverns

The Seoul Wyverns dropped their 13th game in a row on Wednesday, a hard-luck 6-5 defeat at the hands of the Tokyo Tsunami. The streak has dropped them like an anchor to 12-30 and into last place of the Australasian League North Division, a full five games behind the next-closest team. In fact, Seoul is now two games worse than the next closest in any division (the Vienna Wolf Pack are 14-28).

They've lost close games; four of the 13 have come by single digits. They've been blown out; Shanghai demolished them 15-1. They've lost by the exact margin of 4-1 three times during the streak. They've held a team to three runs or fewer just once, and they lost that game 3-0. Meanwhile they've been held to three runs or fewer six times. They've lost in 11 innings twice and 14 innings once. They've been walked off and they've had late-game rallies fall short.

"We've lost every which way," said starting pitcher Henry Walsh, whose 2.74 ERA is a rare bright spot. "We were pretty happy to flip the calendar, that's for sure." The Wyverns were off on Thursday and open a weekend series at home against the Busan Mocs.

Miall Fans 15 in 6.1 Innings

Sloan Continues to Dominate

Speaking of Lenny Sloan, the English lefty has hurled gem after gem for the Paris Pride, keeping them comfortably in first place in the EPL West Division. His latest effort was a complete game shutout of the Copenhagen Condors, striking out 14 while allowing just six hits and a lone walk. It was his fourth game fanning at least 10, and he's worked at least 7 innings in all but two of his EPL starts.

Kiev Comets Boast Best Record

The Kiev Comets haven't shown up yet in an edition of The Wheelhouse but it's not because they haven't deserved it. They've built a 30-12 record, tops in the WBA, through a complete team effort. They're hitting above .300 as a team, led by Mel Martin, Gianfranco Cochetti, Freyr Hellmann, and Michael Thierry. Their pitching has been almost as good, led by Pitcher of the Month for May Michael Reid.
