ROLLINSFORD -- Goldstar Park was a muddy quagmire thanks to the steady rain that fell on the Beacosns and Post 47 players Tuesday night.
Neither team could gain any solid footing or generate much offense as balls became soggy and hard to throw and the bats were hard to grip.
Once again, the Beacons were forced to take an out with three girls and were force to play three outfielders. The team welcomed back Sonny Ecker, but were without Jason Claffey and Steve Clegg.
When it was over, Post 47 registered a 9-3 win over the struggling Beacons despite some gritty play by catcher Jessica Singer Ecker and rightfielder Ray Claverie, who made a fantastic diving catch on a deep fly ball hit down the right field line in the fourth inning.
The Beacons had their opportunities to score some runs. The team had the bases loaded in two innings, but failed to cash in. All in all, it was another tough day for the Beacons and their fans.
Sporting an 0-12 with eight games to play before the Dover Co-Rec League's softball tournament at the end of August, the Beacons still have nowhere to go but up.
"I applaud everybody on this team who continues to show up and play hard regardless of the weather. These guys and gals are real gamers who love to play this game and as long as they put out their effort, I will keep doing whatever I can to help us get some W's," said Beacons Manager Bob Cook.
"Despite our record, we still believe in ourselves and we believe we are close to achieving soe on-field success. We just have to keep plugging away and stay the course," said the Beacons' second-year skipper.
The Beacons will have another opportunity to get that first win on Friday evening when they take on Merrill's Radiator at 6 p.m.
