Thunder Bay dropped to 15-15 in the second half and is now three games out of first place, with five games left to play.
THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay Border Cats are in must-win territory, after dropping a third straight decision to the front-running Eau Claire Express.
Ramirez readily admitted he wasn’t sharp in the early going, a pair of walks and a double in the third eventually leading to a two Eau Claire runs, both coming on infield ground-outs. The trouble was, the mostly new-look Thunder Bay lineup wasn’t able to do much damage against Eau Claire southpaw Evan Esch.
Ethan Thomas was brought in to quell the fire, but promptly threw a pitch into the dirt that rolled to the Port Arthur Stadium backstop, allowing Iffrig to cross the plate, the run cutting the Eau Claire lead to 3-2. The Express restored their two-run lead in the eighth.
