Indians take game 1 in Fastball finals
sarniasports.com September 6th, 2011


Fingal, ON - The Alvinston Indians travelled to Fingal on Tuesday evening for game 1 of their best three out of five St. Thomas & District Major Fastball League Championship series.

The game pitted St. Thomas starter Ryan Cummings against Alvinston pitcher Brad Young, and both pitchers were dominant in the early going, allowing minimal hits.

In the top of the third, Alvinston struck first when Joe Triest singled, advanced to second on a sac bunt by Jamie Shields, and then Triest scored on a Chris Drew RBI single. In the fourth inning, Alvinston added another big run, when Jeff Ingram hit a solo homerun to lead off the inning. With two out, Andy Triest reached base via a bunt single, stole second base, advanced to third via a pass ball, and scored when Joe Triest beat the throw to first on a broken play, for an all-important 3 run lead.

Alvinston was quiet the rest of the way, but more importantly so were the Storm batters, as Young tossed a 4 hitter in the game for the Indians, to earn the 3-0 shutout win, fanning 7 Storm swingers in the process.

Next game is Thursday evening in Alvinston beginning at 8pm.
