Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug. And on this day, Charm City most definitely put forth a hemipterous performance.
Oh, things certainly started well enough for the Dragoons. In fact, they held a 2-0 lead after 4 innings. But saying it went downhill from there is, well...a bit like saying that General Custer once had a bad day at the Little Big Horn River.
First, Fleetwood plated 5 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning. That's normally a pretty impressive feat. But then things REALLY got interesting for the Walkers in the bottom of the 6th. To wit:

2 12 D.Wright 0 Home Run 2-H 1-H b-H
2 D.Lee 0 Single b-1
2 1 M.Cabrera 0 Ground Out b-0
Add it all up and that's 2 walks, 8 singles, 1 double, and 1 home run. The net result: 11 runs, 4 of which were driven in by David Wright alone. Now that's the type of performance that even Nigel Tufnel can appreciate.Needless to say, these two innings proved to be a turning point in the game. Charm City was unable to come back, and Fleetwood won the game (18-2) and the series (3 games to 1).
Fleetwood's next homestand will be a 3-game series versus the North Georgia Yellow Jackets.
