At about 1,501 a game, the Lexington County Blowfish attract more fans than some rivals.

What would make the experience more enjoyable would be more home victories.

Since the dramatic 8-7 comeback win over Forest City in the season-opener, the Blowfish have lost six straight games at Lexington County Baseball Stadium.

The team has been shut out twice. That does not include a 4-0 exhibition loss to the Catawba Valley All-Stars.

They have given up double-digit runs three times and outscored 65-18.

Past the midway point of the first half of the Coastal Plain League schedule, Lexington County now embarks on a 3-game homestand.

The team hopes to make up ground with Savannah in the South Division. It starts with two games against division rivals Florence Thursday and Macon Friday.

All games can be heard on Z93.1 “The Lake” with Justin Hall on the play-byplay.

Saturday marks the 12th annual “Gamefish Cup” contest between the Blowfish and University of South Carolina alumni team. Lexington County snapped a 3-game losing streak to the Gamecocks and took a 6-5 edge in the series with the 2-1 win last year.
