Ouch!
The Parrotheads’ loss Sunday to powerhouse Post 47 hurt in every respect as the hometown team got thumped, 25-2 and never put up much of a fight.
Post 47 hitters quickly roughed up Parrotheads starting pitcher Justin Palmer with 10 runs by the second inning before the Parrotheads put up two runs. But that is as close as they ever got thanks to the relentless hitting and aggressive base running by Post 47 players.
Other than some fine running catches in center field by Jason Claffey, this game held few highlights for Parrotheads fans who were thrilled after seeing their team beat Sal’s Pizza last week, 8-7.
“This game was definitely a step back for us,” said Parrotheads DH Bob Cook. “I just told everybody to keep their heads up and not let it get to them too much. Those guys have been around for several years and we are a relatively new team.”
With 10 games played and 10 games to go, the Parrotheads are 3-7 and mired in fourth place in their division. They are scheduled to play Lavin Brothers on Tuesday and Collins Sports on Sunday, two teams they have previously beaten. But Parrotheads Coach Justin Palmer said he is already concerned the team’s ranks could be depleted, which could level the playing field against those two teams.
