sarniasports.com june 29th, 2011

 

The top 2 teams in the St. Thomas & District Major Fastball League faced off against one another on Tuesday evening in Fingal, for a double-header.

Game #1 pitted Indians ace Brad Young against St. Thomas pitcher Todd Winkworth. St. Thomas went in front in the first inning on a 2-out blast by Brent Crocker making it 2-0. Then in the second St. Thomas added to their lead again making it 5-0, as three errors were made by the Alvinston defence, contributing to all 3 runs. However, in the top of the third, Alvinston would make it a game, when Eric Hyatt and Jamie Shields both singled and then scored on Jeff Ingram's three run home-run, making it 5-3. Unfortunately that's all the scoring Alvinston could muster, as they lost game #1 by the score of 5-3. Patrick Saunders recorded his first career hit for Alvinston in this game, while Eric Hyatt was 2/4 in the lead-off position for Alvinston.

In game #2, the game was over pretty quick, as Alvinston exploded for 11 runs in the opening inning, off of the St. Thomas pitcher. Ryan Cummings came in in relief for St. Thomas and shut the door, but the damage was done, as Alvinston would cruise to a 5 inning mercy win of 11-3. St. Thomas scored all three of their runs in the second inning, but Indians pitcher Kyle Crawford held St. Thomas at bay the rest of the way, to earn the victory. Crawford allowed three earned runs, 3 hits, and 2 walks, over 5 innings of work. Scoring for Alvinston were Jamie Shields (2), Jeff Ingram (2), Chris Drew, Brad Young, Eric Hyatt, Aaron Stocking, Chris Sheppard, Tom Jobson, and Joe Triest. Driving in the runs were Drew (3), Hyatt (3), Young, Stocking, Sheppard, Jobson, and Shields.

The Alvinston Indians now have a record of 10-2 on the season in league play, and play again at home on Thursday night, beginning at 8:00pm, against the Morpeth Magic.
