Monarchs & Knights suffer losses in tournament action Saturday
SPOKANE, WA – A late comeback attempt fell just short for the Medicine Hat ‘AA’ Moose Monarchs in their fifth game of tournament play in Spokane, Washington this week.
Despite scoring three runs in the sixth inning, the Monarchs suffered a 4-3 loss at the hands of the host Spokane Bandits on Saturday afternoon to drop to a 2-2-1 record on the tournament.
Scoreless into the bottom of the third inning, Spokane scored a pair of runs to lead 2-0 after back-to-back line drives to the outfield.
It was a rough fifth inning for Medicine Hat relief pitcher Zach Stark, who allowed a pair of earned runs from the Bandits after facing just five batters.
