You know it's a bad day when your team is in a five run hole before you even get to bat. That's the reality that the Saskatoon Amigos faced today as they lost to the Seattle Monarchs 11-5 and fell behind three games to one in the Cecil Cup Series.
Demarcus Ramirez, the longtime ace of the Saskatoon staff, just didn't have his stuff today. In the first inning, he surrendered six hits, including back to back home runs to David Kerry (a three run shot) and Alberto Grando. By the time the half-inning was over, five Monarchs had crossed home plate and if not for a runner being thrown out trying to take an extra base on a double, there may well have been more. Ramirez lasted until the third, but by then had given up a total of six runs.
The Monarchs had a second big inning in the sixth when they pushed across another three runners, including two on another David Kerry home run.
While it wasn't a good game pitched for Monarchs starter Jamie Cruz (8IP, 5ER), it's enough when your team scores 11 runs.
