Baseball season at McCaskey was supposed to start on the 16th, an all-day light rain forced postponement to Tuesday and more hard rain overnight ruined those plans as well. For good measure the ballclub's road game on Wednesday was also called off due to wet grounds. The next home game is on the 23rd, we'll see if we can get something done by then. On Friday at the Arena the Royals hosted the Adirondack Thunder for the final time in the regular season. Connor McMenamin gave the Royals an early 1-0 lead before the Thunder fought back to lead 2-1 in the second. Late scores by Ben Meehan and Brandon Saigeon put the Royals back up 3-2 but an ADK marker midway through the third squared it once again at 3-3. The game was decided in the OT shootout, Adirondack outscored the Royals 2-1 and won the game 4-3. Keith Petruzzelli was in goal for the Royals as the club's record at home dropped to 18-8-3. The Lost Weekend continued with an OT loss on Saturday in Glens Falls and a Sunday regulation loss in Portland bringing the overall mark to 30-21-9. The club returns home on the 25th for four games in five days, all versus the Norfolk Admirals. Take care, thanks for reading.
