were relentless in their attack. Alvinston swingers
went deep on five occasions on the evening,
including a second three homerun game in the past
three games for Indians first baseman Jeff Ingram.
Joe Triest led off the game for Alvinston with a
homerun, and then with two out, Ingram went deep for
his first homer, for an early 2-0 lead. Indians
young hurler Jeff Lyons took the mound, and allowed
a Shedden run in the first inning, for. 2-1

two more runs in their half of the second, and held
a 3-2 lead.
However, Alvinston replied in a big way in the third
inning, when Andy Triest and Chris Drew both
singled, and then scored on Ingram's second homerun,
a three run shot just over the centrefield fence.
Now with a 5-3 lead, Lyons settled down on the mound
for Alvinston holding Shedden off the scoresheet in
the third and fourth innings.
That set things up for another three run outburst
for Alvinston in the top of the fifth inning. Drew
singled, Ingram reached after being hit by a pitch,
and then Chapman delivered a sac bunt to advance the
runners to second and third. Then with two out, Eric
Hyatt delivered a clutch 2 out 2 RBI single, cashing
both Drew and Ingram. Hyatt then counted when he was
hit home on a RBI single by Chris Sheppard, making
the score, 8-3.
Lyons was touched up for one run in the fifth when
Cooke went deep for Shedden, but the kid finished
the inning, and left with a 8-4 lead for Alvinston.
Then the Indians exploded in the sixth inning, when
they counted five runs. J. Triest singled to start
things off, then Andy Triest was hit by a pitch to
put runners on first and second. Drew then followed
with his third single on the night, and drove home
Brady Davenport, who entered the game as a pinch
runner for Joe Triest. Jeff Ingram then came to the
plate and hammered his third homer of the game, and
his second three run homer of the game. Then with
one out, Aaron Stocking got involved in the power
and clubbed a homerun of his own, making the score
13-4 for Alvinston.
