Starting our tour now of the teams that finished below the break-even mark in the MGL, we will begin with a trip out east to visit the Baltimore Lords. The Lords were one of the least balanced teams in the league as they had a dynamic offense and a very lacking pitching staff. The Lords led the league in runs (629) while finishing 8th in runs allowed (620). While their bullpen was quite respectable (2.51 ERA, 2nd), their overall ERA ranked 7th and their Starters ERA (3.47) ranked 8th. On offense they were 1st or 2nd statistically in every major category except bases on balls (7th) and stolen bases (10th, with only 27.)
Our Brewers struggled a bit though against the Lords solid offense, winning 8 games while losing 10.
Third Baseman Ron Ganier was a particular thorn in the side of Brewers' pitchers (.328/.397/.459).
