The Skinny: Charleston flipped the script on Scotland this time out. The Claymores took 2 of 3 from the Statesmen in Edinburgh, but Charleston returned the favor this time out. Scotland missed Vincent Powell’s bat this series as he recovered from a strained oblique and his replacements didn’t do much. Scotland is scuffling out of the gate … luckily, the rest of the division is struggling a bit, too. The Claymores can't count on that indefinitely, though. Time to start playing some decent baseball, boys!
