The Superbas have started the second season in franchise history with a six-game losing streak. But the Superbas have lost with style.
The Superbas entered the second season with six new players, and a lineup that was improved across the board. But then the games started.
The Superbas opened the season with a 24-3 loss. And then followed that with a 21-9 loss. And then 20-4. And then 20-5.
It wasn’t until the sixth game that the Superbas’ bats finally came alive as a team. The Superbas eventually lost 18-15, but it was clearly the team’s best overall effort, and the game may be the turning point of a once-promising young season.
The Superbas have lost one of their stars. Utility fielder Dyelan Grace will miss the rest of the season following surgery on a torn Achilles tendon. D-Grace had become a major force at the plate and in the field.
Star pitcher and reigning MOP Carlo Quinonez has missed the entire season due to eligibility requirements. Quinonez is in the process of earning his GED and should be able to play the final three games. Additionally, last season’s clutch player, Jeff Adams, announced his surprise retirement after his wife gave birth to their first child.
The future always looks bright, but for the Superbas, the light could not be any brighter.
