Welcome back for another installment of the Midshipman’s Log. This week a fair number of the teams started off strong and then petered out over the weekend, perhaps in homage to the big league club. Or maybe they just didn’t feel like working on the weekend. Minor-leaguers, they’re just like us!
Modesto Nuts (29-34) drop series to Lake Elsinore (SDP) (38-25), 2-4
Lake Elsinore is one of the Cal League’s best teams and Modesto is...not, so this feels like the likeliest outcome for the series even though it wasn’t the one I was hoping for after an enormous win to kick off the series.
