This was not an auspicious start to playoff baseball history in Brattleboro, as the Grocers went down 8-1 in the 1st game of the NLDS. Joey Troxler pitched 7 innings, giving up 3 earned and 3 hits. The real issue came in the 9th when Omarion Taylor entered the game and promptly gave up 5 runs (4 earned) and let the game get completely out of hand.
We just have to put this one out of our minds and head off to the next game.
Ethan Harris had a home run, the Grocers left 7 men on base.
We're back tomorrow night to even the series.
