Recap

            The B-Mets offense sputtered in game two of their double-header with Richmond Wednesday night, and they’d lose a tight 2-1 game. Rainy Lara looked great over the first 3 innings, needing only 35 pitches while facing one over the minimum, but then needed 37 pitches combined between the 4^th and 5^th innings. Lara would issue two walks in the 4^th, and the Squirrels took a 1-0 lead when a flare single fell into the ‘Bermuda triangle’ in shallow left-center field. Lara would issue a third walk in the 5^th inning, but it was a double allowed to the opposing pitcher that led to the Squirrels second run of the game. The B-Mets finally broke through for a run in the 6^th inning, but they’d leave the bases loaded in what was their best scoring opportunity.
