Goldeyes manager Rick Forney looked at Saturday night’s 4-1 loss to starter Alain Quijano and the Schaumburg Flyers philosophically.
“Hopefully, we can come out tomorrow and put up a little better offence,” Forney said with a shrug. “We just never seemed to get our timing against Quijano. We have had some trouble against left-handers with a good change and we just couldn’t seem to get comfortable against him.”
It was just one of those nights. The Goldeyes managed only six hits – including two singles each by Kevin West and Brent Metheny – and put up only a single run as the Goldeyes fell to 54-40 on the season and remained in second place in the Northern League, two games behind first-place Gary and a game-and-a-half ahead of third-place Fargo.
Quijano set the tone for the Flyers, shutting the Goldeyes out on only two hits through five-plus innings of work.
“This was the third time I’ve pitched against them and the two times, I wasn’t that successful, so I wanted to have a good outing to finish the season,” Quijano told the Shaw TV audience. “They have a really tough line-up and I just wanted to get off to a good start against them and give us a chance to win.”
Game 3 of this four-game set goes this afternoon at 1:30. Andrew Cruse gets the start for the Goldeyes while Dustin Glant replies for Schaumburg in a battle of righties.
