The D.C. Bushslappers' slide has now reached eight games, dropping them to fourth in the Morris Division and eighth overall. The Slappers gave a good fight over the weekend to the Hanover Division leading Newark Sugar Bears, but their pitching staff could not contain the Newark juggernaut. They came close to winning in Sunday's first game - an 11-10 squeaker. D.C. actually jumped out to a 6-2 lead, but they gave up eight runs in the 5th innings. Newark tacked on another run later, but the Slappers weren't done. D.C. came up just short in the ninth, scoring four runs, but Carl Crawford struck out with the bases loaded to end the game. In the second game, D.C. scored 12 runs, which should be good enough to win, but they gave up 16 runs to the Sugar Bears.
Has anyone been surprised by how Hillsborough absolutely owned the Rat Pack over the weekend? After running away with the season, losing only a pair of games to the Sugar Bears, the Rat Pack was looking unbeatable. Until they met Hillsborough. The Hitmen won a close one on Friday, but dominated Saturday in a 12-0, 4-hit blanking. Then Sunday, the Pack was held in check by C.C. Sabathia in game one and then lost in a close 7-5 second game. The Rats have now slipped into second place in the Hanover and third place overall.
