Senior Cubs lose one, rained out in Alliston

The Mansfield Senior Cubs managed to get on the diamond for two games this weekend, unfortunately the second time out didn’t include a game.
The Cubs showed up for their scheduled game against the Alliston Athletics on Sunday evening, June 5, in Alliston only to find out the Alliston team had postponed the game due to “field and weather conditions.”
It had rained a couple of hours earlier and the infield was a little pasty, but good enough to get a game going, according to the Mansfield team.
The Cubs didn’t let the field go to waste since the diamond was booked for the game so they took the opportunity to get a practice in.
It was the second outing for the Cubs on Sunday.
Earlier, they played a game against the Ivy Leafs in Ivy with a 3 p.m. start.
The Cubs had some good success in the game including a single run home run from Brad Pendleton, but they had to give up an 8-6 loss to the Leafs.
That leaves the Cubs with a 1-6 record so far for the season.
Overall, the New Lowell Knights are leading the League going undefeated after seven games.
They are followed by the Midland Indians in second place with a 7-2 record and the Lisle Astros in the number three spot.
The Cubs will take the trip down Highway 10, on Sunday, June 12, to take on the Orangeville Giants at Springbrook Park in Orangeville.
Game time is 1 p.m.
