PawSox Lose Opener 3-2

The PawSox have now lost three games in a row after their 3-2 loss at the hands of the Louisville Bats in Game One of a doubleheader tonight at Slugger Field in Louisville.

The PawSox got off to a 2-0 lead on an RBI single by Brandon Moss in the fourth and a sacrifice fly by Joe Thurston in the fifth. The Bats responded with a pair of runs in the fifth to tie the score.

The Bats took the lead in the bottom of the sixth on a passed ball by George Kottaras, scoring David Ross who had reached on a triple.

PawSox starter Chris Smith once again was solid through four innings, but gave up all three runs to get the loss. Bats' starter Homer Bailey pitched 6 1/3 innings to earn his second victory of the season.

The PawSox hope to earn a split in Game Two with Charlie Zink on the mound. He'll be opposed by Thomas Shearn for the Bats.
