RICHMOND SWEEPS LONDON IN BRITISH LEAGUE OPENERS

The London Mets apparently won’t have it nearly so easy this season. After sweeping through the British National League last year with only one loss during the regular season and playoffs, the Mets lost two games to the Richmond Flames last weekend to surpass their 2008 loss total on the opening weekend of British League action.

Michael Osborn pitched well enough in Richmond’s opening 5-4 win over London on April 19, and Cody Cain’s three-run homer highlighted the Flames’ 11-3 win in the nightcap.

In the other British League doubleheader, the expansion Hertfordshire Falcons won twice against the Croydon Pirates in Croydon. Herts won the opening game, 11-5, and reached double digits on the scoreboard again with a 10-3 win in the second game.
