Report by the Armada’s Marcelo Figueroa<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben Fox pitched another terrific game but suffered his fifth consecutive loss as St. George shutout the Armada 2-0 Thursday night at Blair Field. On the opposing side, starter David Seccombe pitched a two hit complete game shutout for the Roadrunners. The Armada is now 3-7 in the second half and 23-25 overall.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

It was Lima Time at Blair Field on Wednesday night as Jose Lima pitched eight terrific innings to lead the Fleet to a 5-1 win over the visiting St. George Roadrunners. Long Beach is now 3-6 in the second half and 23-24 overall.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Roadrunners struck first in the top of the third inning. Henry Calderon hit a leadoff double before moving to third on a sac bunt. With two outs Ruddy Yan singled up the middle to give St. George the 1-0 lead at the end of three innings.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Seccombe pitched terrifically through four innings of work, holding the Fleet scoreless and to just one hit.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

St. George added to its lead in the top of the fifth. Once again it was Calderon starting it off with a one-out single for the Roadrunners. With two outs Yosvany Almario doubled to drive in Calderon, pushing the lead to 2-0.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Seccombe continued his dominance on the mound. Through eight innings of scoreless baseball, he held the Armada to just two hits while striking out six.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Despite surrendering the two runs, Fox pitched a great game. He finished with a line of 8 IP, 5 H, 2 R and 8 Ks. However, it was not enough as Seccombe was untouchable for the Roadrunners on the hill.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

In the bottom of the ninth it would be Seccombe\u2019s game to finish. He went wire-to-wire, pitching a complete game. His final line was 9 IP, 2 H and 7 Ks. He retired the last 19 batters in a row to end the game.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Long Beach has the weekend off before hosting a three game series against the visiting Yuma Scorpions Tuesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05pm.<\/o:p><\/p>\n
