INDIANS WIN ON ROAD
 

On Wednesday evening, the Alvinston Indians travelled to Glanworth, for their last contest with the Glanworth Gators.  The Indians were hoping to improve their record against Glanworth, to 4 wins and 0 losses on the season. 

In the first inning, they made a case to do so, when they earned three runs.  Joe Triest, Steve Donald, and Chris Drew all singled, with Drew driving in Triest for the game's first run.  Then #5 hitter Jeff Ingram came to the plate with one out, and singled to score both Donald and Drew. 

With a 3-0 lead, that gave young starter Jeff Lyons the support he needed, as he held off Glanworth for the first three innings of work.  In the fourth however, Glanworth touched Lyons and the Indians up for two runs.  A walk was issued, and then with one out, McKillip smacked a triple to score Glanworth's first run.  McKillop would then eventually score as well, tightening the game to a 3-2 score. 

Alvinston then turned the ball over to veteran Doug Charlton in the top of the fifth, and he help Glanworth down in the fifth.  That sparked Alvinston, as they made an important run of their own.  Drew tripled for Alvinston, and then scored on an RBI single by Ryan Chapman.  The Indians then added two more insurance runs in the sixth, to make it 6-2, when Tom Jobson walked with one out, Shawn Fenton singled, and then Charlton and Donald both had RBI's singles to score both Jobson and Fenton. 

Glanworth would fight back, scoring two runs of their own in the bottom of the seventh, but that was as close as they would get, as Alvinston earned the 6-4 road victory. 

INDIANS WIN OPENING GAME OF DOUBLE HEADER 

 
The Alvinston Indians hosted the Morpeth Magic at home, on Thursday evening, in what was to be a double header.  Unfortunately the weather did not hold off, and the teams were only able to get the first game in, with the second game needing to be restarted, as it was not a 5 inning game. 
 
Alvinston got to work right away in game #1, in the first inning, when they piled on six runs right off the bat, off of Morpeth pitcher Darrwen Devine.  Joe Triest singled, and eventually scored on an RBI double by Scott Smith.  Greg Fowler then singled to score Smith.  Stocking then followed with a single, which set things up for Jobson, who drove in both Fowler and Stocking with an 2-RBI double.  Eric Hyatt was then the next batter, and he singled home Jobson.  Andy Triest then followed and clubbed an RBI triple, which scored Hyatt. 
 
However, Morpeth kept fighting back, as they kept adding on the hits and making runs.  They scored 3 runs in the third when they were one batter short of batting around, and added another in the fourth.  John Ferguson battled it out on the mound, and kept Morpeth in check, enough to earn the victory, as he helped to strand many Morpeth runners on base.  He was releived by Brad Young for the final six outs, but fought hard enough to earn the 6-4 victory for Alvinston.
 
With the win, Alvinston improved their record to 16-6 on the season, with two regular season games remaining for them.  They are in a fight with St. Thomas, for first place in the league.  They travel to Belmont next Wednesday evening, and then need to make-up a game with Morpeth.
