Boys Brant County Silver Medalists

Our Boys 3 Pitch team had an excellent outing on Thursday in the first day of the Brant County 3 Pitch Tournament.  The first game against North Ward, the boys took some time getting the bats going, scoring 1 run in the first, 4 in the second, and finally hitting the mercy rule of 5 runs in the third inning.  The 10-0 lead was enough to call the game after three innings.

Game two the Boys kept their bats going, scoring 5, 5 and 4 runs for another mercy rule victory over Cobblestone, 14-0.

In order to win their pool and obtain a bye to the Day 1 final game, the Boys needed a good outing against Ryerson.  After a slow start and a 1-0 first inning, they got it in gear again, scoring enough runs to win game three, 10-2.

The plus minus margin of victory gave us a bye and an opportunity to watch our Oliver M. Smith-Kawenni:io friends play off in the division semi-finals against Oakland.  Oakland took the game to six innings to earn a spot against us in the Day 1 final.

In the final against Oakland, it took a steady line up of consistent hitting from the top to the bottom of our order to build up a lead.  Solid defence allowed our team to keep Oakland shut out as we accumulated runs each inning; two in the 1st, one in the 2nd, two in the 3rd and finally four in the 4th.  After the bats stalled in the 5th, Oakland broke the shutout but we kept them at 1 to earn a 9-1 victory and our place in the Friday final.

Stay tuned for Friday's results!
