Which means they swung the bat, and swung it hard. The next two games, we just got outplayed. They are a very solid ballclub, and watch for Dayton come play-off time. Burlington is a team that we needed to take advantage of. Pablo Arias, who was just moved to Lakeland, started the first game for us.
Whitecaps take the series opener.
He went 7 strong innings giving up 3 hits, allowing 0 runs and striking out 11. The 11 K's were the most by a Whitecaps pitcher so far this season. Also in this game, our first baseman Jake Anthony broke his upper jaw with 2 outs in the 9th inning. He went to field a ground ball, and it popped up and smacked him on the right side of his face. It was a sight that I wish I never would have seen, with the blood rushing from him.
