Reality Check: A’s Swept in Lombard
Posted: June 18, 2018
Lombard, IL – The Sheboygan A’s came into this past weekend feeling good.
The A’s were 14-4 on the season. The club has tossed three no-hitters, and a one hitter.
They were 6-2 in the Wisconsin State League, and both of those loses were by only one run.
The club knew Lombard would be a tough task, especially heading down there where the club has had little success over the years.
Lombard whipped around the A’s over the weekend, ten-run ruling the A’s three times. The other loss for the A’s? That was a shutout.
Lombard won by scores of 11-1, 18-4, 14-2, and 4-0.
The A’s offense never recorded more than four hits in any of the four contests, and the pitching wasn’t able to keep the Orioles within striking distance.
Not much else can be said about the weekend. It was a tough one for the A’s, and a weekend they’d rather soon forget.
The team will take Monday off and look to regroup Tuesday in Appleton against the Legends. The A’s will be home on Wednesday and Friday this week for dates with the De Pere Dodgers and Menasha Macs. Each game begins at 7:30 PM at Wildwood Park. Wednesday is College Night, and Friday is the annual Bud Light Night.

The A's have helped develop more than 43 players that have reached professional baseball, including 2002 World Series Champion Jarrod Washburn (Anaheim Angels).
