Waldorf, MD - In a disappointing turn of events, the Blue Crabs suffered yet another defeat, extending their losing streak to four consecutive series. Their hopes of turning things around before the end of the first half are now hanging by a thread following an 8-3 loss against the Ducks on Tuesday night.
The game started with a glimmer of hope for the Blue Crabs when Jack Sundberg managed to work a leadoff walk against Stephen Woods Jr. Sundberg eventually crossed home plate, courtesy of Braxton Lee's single through the center of the diamond, giving the Crabs a narrow one-run lead over the Ducks.
Jesse Estrada, the Blue Crabs' pitcher, had a solid start, cruising through the first two innings. He faced the minimum number of batters thanks to a swift 1-4-6-3 double play executed in the second inning. However, the tide turned quickly as the Ducks' offense heated up in the third inning. Chance Sisco and Alex Dickerson each smashed a home run, propelling the Ducks to a commanding 6-1 lead. The Ducks extended their lead further with an additional run in the fifth inning, courtesy of an error from Alex Crosby.
Despite the uphill battle, the Blue Crabs showed signs of life in the seventh inning. Although they failed to register a hit, they drew five walks against Tom Hackimer and Kyle Lobstein, resulting in a four-run surge. However, the Ducks responded swiftly, tacking on three runs in the eighth inning, securing the series win before the third and final game.
Looking ahead to the conclusion of the series, the Blue Crabs will aim to bounce back from their recent disappointments in the 6:35 PM EST game. Neil Uskali, seeking his second consecutive win after an impressive one-run performance against the High Point Rockers, will take the mound.
