Indians win final league game
sarniasports.com August 7th, 2011


The Indians had one game to make up and did so on Tuesday evening, in Inwood, against the visiting Morpeth Magic. Alvinston got to work early and often, scoring 2 runs in the first, and 3 more in the second to take a commanding 5-0 lead. Then after a pitching change, the Indians were able to add one more insurance run. Brad Young was the winning pitcher on the mound for Alvinston, pitching 7 innings of shutout ball, fanning 11 Morpeth swingers, while allowing only 1 walk and 2 hits. Lorne Noah suffered the loss for Morpeth.

Joe Triest tripled to start the game and then scored on a wild pitch for the game's first run. Then a one out Chris Drew homerun capped off the first inning for Alvinston, with an early 2-0 lead. In the second, Aaron Stocking doubled and Brad Young singled to put runners on first and third. Jeff Lyons then came to the plate and hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score Stocking, with a key RBI recorded by Lyons. Andy Triest then came to the dish and singled to score Young, for the 4-0 lead. Joe Triest then followed with a walk, putting runners on first and second, and with 2 out, Drew hit an RBI single to plate A. Triest, for the game's fifth run. Fast forward to the sixth inning, Alvinston added their last run, when Lyons tripled and then scored on a bullet RBI single by Jamie Shields with two out.

Alvinston finished the regular season with a 19-5 record, but it wasn't good enough for first place, as St. Thomas recorded a record of 20-4. A tight race in the standings kept the League Championship up in the air until the final game! Alvinston will now face the seventh seed in the league, in a best of 3 series, and the hope is that it will be finished before Alvinston travels to the ISC World Championships on August 13.
