Scott Cassidy used the Muhammed Ali method of picking up a loss on Tuesday.
The Hagerstown Suns starter was KO'ed when his pitches began to float a little like a butterfly and he was stung by a bee.
Or in this case, a BB.
Cassidy locked up with Savannah starter Travis Hughes in a good, ol' fashioned pitching duel for seven innings. But Cassidy took a flurry of hits, starting with a double and a single and compounded by his first two walks of the game, in a three-run eighth inning before going down in a 4-1 loss to the Sand Gnats.
Cassidy allowed one run on three hits while striking out seven to keep the Suns (25-14) in a 1-1 tie.
Juan Torres started the rally with a one-out double, and Pedro Guerrero singled to back Cassidy into a corner. Suddenly, the pitcher couldn't counter punch.
