The Hannibal Hoots and Lafayette Aviators hooked up in an old-fashioned pitcher's duel Monday night, but the home team blinked first, losing a 3-2 heartbreaker at Clemens Field.
It's become a familiar scenario for the Hannibal Hoots - get behind early, battle back late and fall just short. That was again the case Sunday, as they lost to the Springfield Sliders 11-7 at Clemens Field.
