Sarnia Peewee Braves In St. Thomas For Weekend

The first game was Friday Night against Markham. Tyler Whitbread took the ball to the mound and went 3 strong innings giving up 4 runs on 7 hits and 5 strikeouts. Shane Remes went the final 3 innings giving up 6 runs with 1 strikeout. Sarnia scored 5 in the last 3 innings but it was too little too late as Markham went on to win 10-5. James Pavey had 2 hits while Vince Caschera, Dylan Whitbread, and Tristan Buntrock all had a hit each, with Buntock's was a triple.

Game 2 went Saturday afternoon on a brutally windy day against the Aurora Jays. The boys came out swinging in this one recording 9 runs through 2 innings. Unfortunately the Jays brought their bats as well and scored 10 runs in the 2nd on 8 hits and that pretty much took the wind out of the kids sails.

The game only went 4 innings because of time limit so the boys had little chance to come back. Aurora won the game 13-9. The Braves went through 4 pitchers in this one as pitch counts became a factor. Jesse Marks, Joey Stock, Sam Ellanor, and Dylan Whitbread all pitched for Sarnia. At the plate Hayden Mclean had 2 hits while Shane Remes and Tristan Bunrock had a hit a piece.

Even though an 0-2 record eliminated the boys from the tournament they showed up Sunday morning undaunted and ready to finish off the round robin against the Kitchener Rangers. If only it had been like this all tournament. The boys played a great game and routed the Rangers 12-3. Dylan Whitbread got the start in this one and went 3 strong innings, giving up 2 runs on 1 hit and 5 strikeouts. Mitch Bigras came in for the final 2 innings and completely dominated giving up 1 run on 1 hit and 5 strikeouts. Hayden Mclean had 2 doubles and Joey Stock had 2 hits as well. Tristan Buntrock had yet another triple as teams refuse to respect the tiny titan.

A 1-2 record was not what we had hoped for but after the first month of play the boys seem to be coming together and coach Marks should have them whipped into shape in no time. No rest for the weary as the boys get right back at it with 3 more league games this week. It starts Monday night in Strathroy.
