The most important rule in baseball says you have to score one more run than the opposition in order to win a game. The Warriors are experiencing a real shortage of runs,as they were only able to plate  3 over a 14 inning span on Saturday at Dean College. To say no one is hitting is an understatement.

Jake Stearns turned in another stellar performance, as he allowed two earned runs and struck out four, while scattering five hits. The Warriors were chasing a run and in the top of the seventh inning, when Justin Martinho ripped a double to right center. Dylan Ashburn singled him in and the score was 1-1. We had two shots to drive in a second run, but a pair of fly ball outs ended the inning.The leadoff hitters for Dean poked a single, promptly stole second and two outs later scored on a single  up the middle for another frustrating loss.

Zack Reid pitched well into the fifth inning keeping us in a 1-1 game. Two walks and a couple of well hit balls by the Bulldogs turned the game around an put us on the wrong end of a 7-2 score. The Warriors were held to four hits in this game. In a nutshell our pitching and defense has been solid, but offensively it almost as if were are going to the plate and forgetting to bring a bat.

The Warriors have a week off to figure things out, as a critical league double header against Holyoke CC takes place at Louis R. Colombo Field next Saturday at 12:00 pm.
