Report by the Armada’s Mark Leinweaver

The Long Beach Armada suffered a 6-5 loss to the Yuma Scorpions in the series rubber match on Sunday night at Blair Field in Long Beach. The Armada are now 9-7 on the season.

Juan Jimenez (1-1) took the loss in relief of Ben Fox, who pitched well in his 6 innings. Carlos Villalobos hit a solo home run to start the 7th inning off of Ramirez. Offensively, Matt Edgecombe hit a solo homer in the 9th, his second of the season, and David Ramirez had a two-run single in the game.

The homestand continues on Monday when the Edmonton Capitals visit Blair Field for the first time this season. The Fleet took two of three from the Capitals in late May on their trip north of the border.
