The Wings woes carried on over to the road as they dropped yet another ballgame, this time to the Red Barons. Once again, pitiful offensive production did the Wings in, with only six hits and their lone run came in the ninth. The Wings have averaged under two runs per game thus far this season, thus leading to their 1-5 record (and while I did not check this, I do not recall a single homerun this season, needless to say the Clyburn injury has hurt).
Pitching tonight was very respectable, as it has been for the most part this season with the exception of the two Pawtucket games (where they allowed a total of 18 runs). Doug Johns started and pitched six solid innings allowing two runs and three hits and Kelley pitched two innings of one hit relief. Two longballs off of Johns accounted for all of the Barons scoring.
Wings catcher Roasario did have two hits and has been pretty solid this season at the plate, as solid as anyone on the Wings, as he has been one of the few surprises thus far. Forbes accounted for the lone Wings run and had a hit. A complete lack of clutch hitting has been another factor this season, Forbes has been a positive in this department though. The Wings hope to break out of their slump tomorrow. On another note, the Skychiefs have been hot as they are 6-0. Generally they are the ones playing pitiful ball (as they started 5-12 last year and have made the playoffs four times in 19 years) at this point, things are reversed thus far.
