Chatham Losing Streak

After an impressive start this summer having a 9 - 1 record, Chatham has had a three-game losing streak. It all began last Friday at Chatham's home field Veteran's Field. They faced the Bourne Braves and could not get ahead of them after committing four errors. Bourne shut out Chatham beating them 4 - 0. Bourne started their scoring in the 5th after a solo homerun was hit by Cody Freeman over the center field fence. Another run was scored in the 6th and two more in the 9th after an error made by Chatham's left fielder Jeff Schaus.
The next loss Chatham suffered was in Cotuit on Satruday in a close 3 - 1 loss. Chatham could not get their bats going in the 9th when they had the bases loaded with a chance to come back.
In Orleans on Sunday night Chatham fell behind 2 - 0 early in the top of the first inning after starter Tom Keeling walked batters and had 5 wild pitches allowing two Firebirds to score. Keeling was taken out of the game and replaced by Logan Verrett who pitched 5 innings allowing no runs to score and had seven strikeouts. Chatham's only run was when Tom Belza singled which allowed Joey Terdoslavich to score. Unfortunately the Anglers could not get another run in the 9th to tie up the game and they suffered their third loss in a row.
Tonight they face the Brewster Whitecaps at Stony Brooke Field and hopefully can reverse their streak back to a winning one.
