Alvinston defeat Springfield in five innings
sarniasports.com july 11th, 2011


The Alvinston Indians made short work on Sunday afternoon, when they defeated the Springfield Brewers 8-0 in five innings of ball, in St. Thomas & District Major Fastball League action.

The Indians scored two runs in the first, when Joe Triest walked to start the inning off. Jamie Shields then followed with a single, and then Ryan Chapman eventually drove both runners home for a 2-0 Alvinston lead. Alvinston went straight back to work in the second inning, when Andy Triest led off with a walk, stole second base and then scored on an RBI single by Shields. The next batter Chris Sheppard then came to the plate, and belted a two run homerun, for a 5-0 Indians lead. In the fourth inning, Alvinston struck again. A. Triest singled to start things off, while J. Triest followed with a walk. Jamie Shields then hit his third single of the game to load the bases. And with the bases loaded, Sheppard delivered again, this time with a 2 RBI single, scoring both Triest's, while Shields also scored via a defensive miscue. With an 8-0 lead, that was enough for Indians starter Doug Charlton, who pitched five scoreless innings, to earn the shutout victory. He allowed two hits, while striking out 8.

Alvinston now has a record of 14-3 in league play, and they travel to Springfield on Tuesday, and then to Glanworth on Wednesday night. Both games are on the road, at 8:30pm and 8:00pm respectively.
