ALVINSTON EARNS GAME 3 WIN
September 15, 2009

Last evening, the Alvinston Indians travelled to Glencoe for game 3 of the semi-final St. Thomas and District Major Fastball League playoff matchup with Glencoe. 

The Indians sent Brad Young to the mound, while Glencoe countered with Steve Cook.  The game went back and forth early on until the fifth inning, when Alvinston finally got to Cook and Glencoe with a 2 out, 2 rbi single by Joe Triest with the bases loaded that plated Chris Drew and Brad Young.  Glencoe threatened in the bottom of the seventh, but only managed one run, with the final score being Alvinston 2, and Glencoe 1.  Brad Young earned the win for Alvinston, pitching effectively over 7 innings, while allowing 4 hits, and striking out 6.  Cook suffered the loss for Glencoe, while Winship came in in relief.  Alvinston was able to muster 3 hits against Glencoe, but earned the all important game 3 win. 

Game 4 goes Wednesday night in Alvinston beginning at 8:00pm.  Then the Indians travel to Stratford this coming weekend, for the Ontario Challenge Cup.
