Ryan Church told the media last night, “Its been a tough stretch we’re just in a funk.” That was evident last night. The crowd was noticeably small for a Friday night game. The first inning was a rough one. Mike Bacsik gave up four runs in the 1st inning, overall giving up 6 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings of work. It was not the start the Nats were looking for. With our offense struggling as of late to produce, starting off with a deficit of 4 is really tough to dig out of. The Nationals lost 6-2.
It’s not as if the Nats didn’t try. Ronnie Belliard had a great night going 4-5 with a solo home run that put the boys on the board. He was also hot on the field, helping to hold the Brewers to 6 runs. Both Felipe Lopez and Ryan Zimmerman also had great defensive plays. The guys give it their all every game, but we gotta start hitting soon!It was a great night for a game. We were excited to see Ross Detwiler our new #18 in attendance. He is going to make a great addition to this young team. Kristen and I tried to find him for an autograph, but unfortunately we just missed him. I guess we will have to wait until September when rumor has it he will be playing in the majors. We wish him the best of luck! We are hoping the Nationals battle back this weekend and bring our funk to an end; we know they can do it!
