Greece Athena had lost five straight on the road, but on Monday they dropped down to 0-5 to make it six. They fell 9-5 to the Gates Chili Spartans. That's two games in a row now that the Trojans have lost by exactly four runs.
Gates Chili's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
For Gates Chili's part, Ryan Stade and Gavin Sweeney did most of the damage at the plate: Stade went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, while Sweeney went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run. Those two RBI gave Sweeney a new career-high. Bruce Hanna also deserves some recognition as he scored his first runs of the season.
While Greece Athena 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 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
