The Tucson Golden Aces (65-and-over division) gave up nine runs in the third inning and lost to the Red Deer Snowbirds from Alberta, Canada, 11-3, this morning at the Kansas City spring training facility in Surprise.
A combination of errors and some timely hitting from the Snowbirds led to the defeat, the Aces second loss in the MSBL World Series. The Aces will need wins over St. Thomas on Thursday and the Ohio Classics on Friday to be in the hunt for a playoff spot for Saturday. "We need to toughen up and go out and get it done," said manager Mike Morales, moments after the Aces' loss, which left the Tucson team with 1-2 record in the series. The team from the Virgin Islands, also 1-2, won its first game of the series today with a 20-8 thrashing of the Ohio Classics. "We still have a shot," Morales said. Game time for the Aces-St. Thomas game is 2 p.m. at the Maryvale Stadium in Phoenix.
