The Atlanta Mad Dogs are making a statement in Spring Training, and they added a nice exclamation mark to their resume by handling all the Flash could throw at them. In a game featuring no home runs, the Mad Dogs never trailed en route to a 6-3 win.
Chief Webster made a good start for the Flash. He retired the first 9 batters he faced, but allowed a walk, stolen base, and single in the 4th inning for the game's first run. The Flash tied it in the bottom of the 5th, when Saitou plated a run with an RBI groundout. His good fortune didn't last long, however, as he committed an error in the 6th inning that led to 2 Mad Dog runs.
Despite the loss, there were some positives. Newcomer Lefty Hodges had an RBI triple and a stolen base. Both were good signs, as his top-of-the-order speed is going to be needed to set up the power bats in the rest of the order all season long.
