The London Majors opened strong in Saturday night’s road game, but quickly lost momentum.
Scoring a pair of runs in their first inning, from that point on they were stonewalled, losing 6-2 to the leading Welland Jackfish.
With only five hits to their name, the Majors only managed to get on base in three of the nine innings – with Brandon Underhill keeping the Majors on their back foot for most of the game before handing off the mound.
The Majors Eduardo De Oleo had a single and a double. Cleveland Brownlee, .Champ Garner and Brad Verhoeven had one hit each.
In the coming days, the Majors will face off against the Chatham-Kent Barnstormers – with one game on Fergie Jenkins field today, and another in Labatt Park on Monday.
London sits fourth place in the league, while the Barnstormers are in fifth, four and a half games behind London.
