Washington had lost seven straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 0-5 to make it eight. They came up short against the Foss Falcons, falling 16-5. That's two games in a row now that the Patriots have lost by exactly 11 runs.
Foss' first win this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Considering their hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
For Foss' part, Tobin McBee made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed 4.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off three hits. McBee was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs and one RBI. That RBI was his first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Riley Brunk, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and four RBI. Those RBI marked the first that he has brought in this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Lance Cleveland, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs and two RBI.
While Washington 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 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
