We came up against the Wichita Falls Roughnecks again tonight. They have been a thorn in our side for some reason and they continued the streak. After an excellent start by Lockwood and a 4-2 lead, our relief pitching gave up 2 runs in each of the last 2 innings to give us the loss. Despite some good hitting on the part of several Outlaws as well as some nice throw outs by Heath at catcher, the Roughnecks give us our 4th loss in 4 meetings, we have only lost 2 other times, as we win most of our games against other teams. So, we know the team to beat. We did find out that they have had their roster set since the beginning whereas we have had incoming players continuing throughout the beginning of the season. But positives for today include Eric getting a hit and a walk as well as making a couple of really nice plays for outs at first, Hugh making 3 great throws to second to get runners and Bobby going 3 for 4 including a homerun. Also, Matt started today at Helena and got his first professional hit, go MATT!!! We hit the Whataburger with Heath, Jocyln, Eric, Jose, Jeremy and all related families and saw Zach Boles and his family there. We were home before midnight due to the quickness of the game. But boy are the uniforms dirty after the little storm we had around 5:00, everything was muddy and the boys sure weren't shy about playing in the dirt. I'm off to try and make a uniform white again.
