2013 Record: 0-1
It did not go as planned. The Unionside fans were treated to what they hoped to be past. Subatashvili was tagged for six hits in three innings walking two more while just striking out two. He spread four earned runs over the first three innings before being lifted for a pinch hitter.
John Ellis came in for long relief and also got shelled early. Ellis recorded one out while giving up 4 earned runs, including two earned on a Jared Reed home run. Qvist did not do much in his Showboats debut either as he failed at the plate going 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.
Their were brightspots in the 8-1 trashing however, Wayne's late signing, TowaUlta Alebana got on base in the third inning to get knocked in by Vasile Bobescu to bring the score to 4-1 in the third. The game got out of hand and Alebana added a double later in the game. The bullpen after Ellis also finished strong. Merrick, Finch and Terenther combined for 5.2 innings racking up three strikeouts versus 2 walks and six hits.
Tomorrow's matchup hopes to be better, budding star Lorne Lawrence (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will take the mound versus Peder Boman (0-0 0.00 ERA).
