RIDGEFIELD — Trouble began when the Ridgefield Raptors turned to their bullpen, and two forgettable innings later, a once-promising lead was history.
Protecting a two-run lead Tuesday against the Edmonton Riverhawks after starter Dylan Stewart tossed five quality innings, Ridgefield relievers Drew Townson and Mac Elske combined to give up 10 runs (eight earned) across the sixth and seventh innings, allowing the Riverhawks to roar back for a 13-4 win and tie the series at 1-1.
