M.L. White Sox drop season opener

It wasn’t the start the Meadow Lake senior White Sox baseball team was looking for at last night’s season opener.

The Sox dropped the game 6-2 against the Mervin Flyers a team who had a rough start of their own dropping their first two games both by double digits.

The first inning seemed to spell an early end for the Sox as the team allowed four runs off walks.

Throughout the game, White Sox batters struck out six times while either popping or grounding out an additional 16 times and getting on base only 11 times.

A bright spot, the Sox matched their only homerun during the 2015 season after Sam Dawson hit a solo-homer during the fifth inning; the team’s first run of the game.
