INDIANS LOSE IN BELMONT
The Alvinston Indians were fighting for first place in
the league, but now will finish second behind the St.
Thomas Storm, after a 3-2 nail biting win for Belmont
against the Alvinston Indians. Many regulars were not
on hand for Alvinston, but that's certainly not
Belmont's fault, as they put together a strong game, and
fought hard for the impressive come from behind victory
in extra innings.
The game pitted young starters Chad Hargrove for Belmont
against Indians starter Kyle Crawford. Crawford pitched
six scoreless innnings for Alvinston, leaving the game
in the seventh inning, with no one out after a leadoff
walk. Belmont threatened in the sixth, after a triple
by Tweedle, but an incredible defensive diving play by
Andy Triest in centrefield ended the inning, and kept
the game scoreless. Crawford pitched 6
innings, allowing 2 hits and 4 walks, with 6
strikeouts.
The game was scoreless after seven innings, and the game
went to extra innings, and the international tie-breaker
rule. Alvinston scored first when Charlton scored on an
RBI bloop single by Eric Hyatt. However, Belmont
replied in their half of the seventh, when Smith scored
on an RBI signle by Peterson. Alvinston then added one
run of their own in the ninh, when Joe Triest started at
second, was sacrificed to third on a bunt by Andy Triest,
and then scored on an RBI sac fly by Chris
Drew. However, Belmont won it in the ninth, when
Tweedle scored, and then Mark McCallum drove in Hargrove
for the game winning run, ad 3-2 Belmont victory over
Alvinston.
Hargrove got the win for Belmont, allowing 2 runs in 9
innings of work. He allowed only 2 hits and 2 walks in
the game, with 9 strikeouts. Young suffered the loss in
the relief of Crawford.
This puts the Indians record at 16-7 for the regular
season. Their final league game, was tentatively
scheduled with Morpeth for tomorrow night, but will not
occur due to no umpires being available on short notice,
and therefore the game will likely remain unplayed, as
playoffs start next week! |
