Diamond States, Atlas Fall to Lewes

On April 29, the Diamond States and Atlas made the trek to Sussex County to face off with the Lewes BBC.  It was a beautiful day for base ball, however the day proved troubling for the teams from up north.

In the first match, the Atlas Nine had trouble stringing together many hits, and were limited to five tallies.  Despite a strong effort in the field, the Lewes club was able to compile 23 tallies for the victory.  The Atlas effort was lead by Kevin, with 2 hits, Anchor, whose patience resulted in a pair of walks, and Thunder, with 3 stolen bases.

In the second match of the day, the Diamond States battled the Lewes club in a tightly contested match.  The Blue and Black jumped out to a quick lead with 6-tallies in their first turn at bat.  The Sussex nine battled back through the middle innings.  As the game approached it’s end, the teams found themselves locked in a close match, with the score tied at 12 going into the 9th inning.  The Diamond States were unable to score in their half of the inning and Lewes managed to plate a run on fly ball to left to seal the win.

The Diamond States won’t have to wait long for a chance to even the season series with Lewes.  The clubs will face off again on May 5 as part of the Dover Days Festival.  The game will take place on the Legislative Green beginning at 2:00 pm.
