The Stonewall Sr. Blue Jays mounted a late comeback attempt but came up short against the second-ranked Elmwood Giants on home field Monday night.
Stonewall surrendered four runs in the first inning and three more in the third to fall behind 7-1.
The Blue Jays got a run back in the bottom of the third and added three more in the sixth to cut the deficit to 11-5.
However, the Giants responded with two runs in the top of the seventh to take a commanding 13-5 lead into Stonewall’s final at-bat.
The Blue Jays scored twice in the bottom of the seventh but ultimately fell 13-7 at Quarry Park.
The loss drops Stonewall’s record to 2-5, leaving the club tied for eighth place in the Winnipeg Senior Baseball League standings.
The Blue Jays now turn their attention to a pair of road games this week against the Carillon Sultans (4-3) and Springfield Sr. Braves (3-3).
