BUCS FALL AGAIN

After plenty of rough losses at home, the Salem Buccaneers went on the road this week in search of some wins.

But the road was not kind to Salem, which lost three of four games to the Prince William Cannons, including a 5-4 loss Thursday night in a Carolina League game.

The Bucs begin their biggest homestand to date today against the Lynchburg Red Sox at 7 p.m. The Bucs will play the next 10 days in a row, all at home.

The Cannons (12-9) scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to overcome a 4-2 deficit. Mike Cameron singled home Carmine Cappuccio to make it 4-4, then pinch runner Geovany Miranda scored the winner off a wild pitch from Bucs reliever Marc Pisciotta. Miranda was running for Eddie Pearson, who was intentionally walked by Salem starter Sean Evans (0-2).

Jason Watkins (1-0) picked up the win for Prince William, allowing no hits in the final two innings.

For Salem, outfielder Danny Clyburn was 2-for-4 and scored two runs; outfielder Daryl Ratliff whacked a solo home run; and first baseman Raul Paez was 1-for-4 with two RBI.
