Ironmen lose third straight to start season


RICHMOND, Indiana — The Lorain County Ironmen fell to 0-3 on the season with a 5-1 rain-shortened loss to the Richmond River Rats at Don McBride Stadium on Saturday.

The River Rats took an early lead in the bottom of the second inning and were able to hang on until the lightning and rain ended the game with the Ironmen ready to hit in the top of the seventh.

Andrew Revello got his first start of the season for the Ironmen and pitched well, but ran into trouble against, Ryan Skellie, who goes to St. Bonaventure with Revello. Skellie went 2-for-3 with a double, triple, two runs scored and a stolen base.

The Ironmen got their lone run when James DiBiasio singled, stole second base and scored on Zak Blair’s RBI single to right-field.

Aaron Newcomb picked up his first win of the season for the River Rats.

DiBiasio was scheduled to lead off the top of the seventh inning when the skies opened up. After a 45-minute rain delay, the decision was made to call the game.

The Ironmen take on Richmond again today at 6:05pm. The team returns to the Pipe Yard on Tuesday to host the West Virginia Miners.
