LA MIRADA, California- Lance Smith
The Shepherds had their final league game versus the Inland Valley Pirates on Monday evening. The two teams had played four games leading up to today with the Pirates winning three of four before today.
Andrew Sutherland started on the bump and looked to give the Sheps a quality start after struggling in his last appearance. Sutherland unfortunately did not have his best stuff and the Pirates jumped on him scoring seven runs in the first four innings. Early, it looked like the Pirates would play spoiler in the Shepherds regular season finale. Luckily, the offense decided to have a day putting up twelve runs while the bullpen limited the Pirates to just two after the fourth inning.
This was an encouraging end to an otherwise lack luster regular season as the Shepherds are able to go out with a good taste in their mouths
Teagan Disharoon picked up the win, Jackson LoBianco earned the save, and DJ Allen was tacked with the loss,
