Lanier fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Roswell on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Hornets by a score of 4-3. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Hornets this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 2-0 last Monday.
Ethan Curtis spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on six hits.
On the hitting side, Jp Suarez made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two RBI and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in February.
This is the second loss in a row for Lanier and nudges their season record down to 5-16. That patch can't be blamed on the team's pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 6 runs in those games. As for Roswell, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-7 record this season.
While Lanier had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
