Alvinston takes game of series
sarniasports.com August 10th, 2011


After more then a week off, the Alvinston Indians opened up their second season, when they traveled to Glencoe to face the Astros, in the first game of their best 2 out of 3 quarterfinal series.

The game was a tight affair, with Aaron Stocking doing the only damage in the first 4 innings, when he clubbed a solo home run for Alvinston, in the top of the second inning, to provide an early 1-0 lead for the road team. However, Glencoe was finally able to notch the game at 1's, when they scored an unearned run after a throwing error for Alvinston and a close play at the plate. The game would remain tied through seven innings, with both team's pitchers throwing strong games.

In the eighth inning, the rust finally came off for Alvinston after their one week layoff, when the Indians pieced together back to back to back singles to score the go-ahead run. Chris Drew singled, Jeff Ingram followed with a single, and Brad Young did the same, and collected an RBI by plating Drew. Jeff Lyons then drove in the insurance run, when he singled to score Ingram. Young then scored on an RBI groundout by Eric Hyatt, as the Indians added three runs in their half of the eighth, for a 4-1 lead.

That was enough, as Brad Young was masterful in this game, tossing a complete game 3 hitter for Alvinston. Young threw 8 innings of ball, allowing the 3 hits, one unearned run, no walks, and he fanned 7 Glencoe swingers.

Next up for Alvinston is game 2 on Thursday night in Alvinston, beginning at 8:00pm.
