NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - The North Adams SteepleCats (19-21) could not send the Keene Swamp Bats (11-28) back home with a loss Wednesday night.
The team with the New England Collegiate Baseball League's worst record prevailed 5-3 a Joe Wolfe Field. Not once did the SteepleCats take the lead. Still, even with the loss, the 'Cats remain in a playoff spot because the Valley Blue Sox (18-21) lost to the Sanford Mainers (21-18), 7-3.
With a sense of urgency, the SteepleCats sent six men to the plate in the bottom of the ninth. Down 5-2, a one out RBI single from Zach Wall scored Rob Calabrese. That was the first time they scored since bringing one run each across the plate in both the bottom of the second and bottom of the third.
Thursday is an off day for the SteepleCats. Their penultimate game is Friday when they're once again on the road playing the Laconia Muskrats (21-19).
