Every season has bad losses. Wednesday night was the worst of the young season as the Jacksonville Dolphins came to Mark Light and beat the Canes 6-3. The guys with the M’s on their white lids didn’t seem to care. Perhaps it was the early 4p start time and they were pulled away from Swagg streaming a burner. Whatever the reason, it was an embarrassing display of effort.

Jacksonville starter Richard Logan came into this one with a healthy 6+ era. He threw 5+ no-hit innings against a team that I myself said could ‘mash‘ with the best of them. Shows what I know. Thankfully, Yoyo broke it up in the 6^th and then Blake Cyr gave us hope with this…

Meanwhile, on the mound, after giving up 30 runs to the Gators, it was refreshing only seeing 2 allowed until all hell broke loose in the 9^th when the Dolphins sent 9 men to the plate. Singles and walks. Not even a homerun, yet we coughed up 4 and that was the ballgame. We added one in the bottom of the 9^th, but far too little and far too late.

So, Canes have lost 3-of-4 and ACC play opens Friday with NC State coming to town. Exactly how we all wrote this up three weeks ago.
