SoM NNL Replay: HIL@KC game 3 - Satchel takes another loss

In a duel of third place teams, the third game of the series sees Satchel Paige try to win his first game as his Monarchs want to stay close to the NNL division lead, while the Hilldales want to win their first series and avoid falling even further behind in the ECL.

As in the season opener, Satchel shows some weakness to start the game. He walks Torriente to begin the scond inning, and allows him to score on a Taylor single. After that, Page starts to get in the groove and striking out opponents as is his habit.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Monarchs tie the game on a picture perfect bunt single from Oms with runners on 1st and 3rd and no outs, but Slim Jones can get out of the inning without further damage on a flyout and a double play grounder from Cannady.

In the eighth, Satchel gives up another single and a walk, allowing Pennington to score on  sac fly to left from leadoff Willie Wells.

Both starters are lifted for pinch hitters, and the relievers prevent any further damage despite Currie giving up a leadoff single in the bottom of the last.

Another unfortunate loss for Satchel and thr Monarchs who fall back to 2-4 despite a solid performance (with another CS for catcher Santop). The Daisies are happy, and a bit lucky, to win the series in Kansas City to get to 2-4.
