Feel like you missed out on what's happening with the Boys of McCoy this week? Don't worry, your weekly PawSox Notebook on the WBOB Sports section has you covered. It was a short week in terms of games played (5) with a rain out this past Tuesday and a day off the following Wednesday. Still, just because it's a short week doesn't mean that the action completely stopped. Remember, there's always something happening over at McCoy Stadium even when the team enjoys a day off.

A Not-So-Good Week
Since the last PawSox Weekly Notebook, the team took a minor nose dive. After winning the weekend series opener 6-5 on April 22, against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, the PawSox dropped the next two games to the visiting team. Then on April 25, the PawSox hosted a two-game series against the Syracuse Chiefs (4/25-4/26). However they ended up playing just one game with the second game postponed due to rain.
After a rare day off on Wednesday, the PawSox took to the road to Syracuse, New York, to play the Chiefs at their home park over the weekend (4/28-5/1). However the Chiefs ended up taking the first two games of the series. Overall, the team went 1-4 during that stretch, averaging 3 runs per game while the opposition ended up scoring an average of 3.6 runs per game.
Where They Stand
Currently, the Pawtucket Red Sox have taken a minor tumble as we close out the month of April, going 5-5 in their last 10 games to finish 11-10 (.524) in the North Division of the International League at 10-6 (.625). This include a 4-7 record at home and a 7-3 record on the road. They are also currently 0.5 game behind both the Syracuse Chiefs (11-9 (.550)) and the Scranton/Wilks Barre Railriders (12-10 (.545))
