Monclova, Mexico - Yikes! That was one stinker of a week.
The Monclova Aqua Sox went 0-6 in Week 9 of their Rookie League schedule to drop 7 games behind first place Ogden and come within a game of dropping out of a wild card spot.
Not, it’s safe to say, what they were looking for.
Time to suck it up, boys, if you want to make the playoffs!
