The Richmond Flying Squirrels (5-9) endured a rough final day of their week-long road trip, falling in the completion of Tuesday night’s suspended ballgame before also dropping the finale of a three-game set with the Altoona Curve (6-7) on Wednesday afternoon. After the Curve walked off with the win in game two of the series, they held off the Squirrels, 4-3, to claim the series win. The Squirrels limp home following the series, having gone just 1-6 on their first road trip of the season.

Richmond Flying Squirrels swept by Thunder

Chris Graham

The Trenton Thunder (7-3) completed a four-game sweep of the Richmond Flying Squirrels (4-7) with an emphatic, 15-1, win on Sunday afternoon at ARM & HAMMER Park. The loss for the Squirrels established a new franchise record for most lop-sided defeat and also extended Richmond’s losing streak to six games. That string matches the longest losing skid in the short history of the franchise as well.
