Under a glorious canvas of sunny blue skies, our Toronto Playgrounds Major Peewee Selects defeated the Bloordale (2) Bombers 22-3 in three innings this morning at Millwood Park to win its first game at the 2014 Etobicoke Baseball Association (EBA) Peewee Select Championship Playoff Tournament.

Here are the highlights:

  • TP starter Tyler (42) pitched a strong top of the first where he allowed only two Bloordale runs while striking out two.
  • The Major Peewees answered back with four in the bottom of the first to take a 4-2 lead. Leading the TP offensive surge was Tyler with a double; Jack H. (27) with a RBI single; Sasha (28) with a 2 RBI double; Arlo (7) with a RBI single; and Max (17) with a RBI single.
  • Tyler pitched 2/3 of the second inning where he allowed only a run while fanning one Bomber.
  • TP reliever Arlo (7) entered the fray with two outs in the second to douse the Bombers attack.
  • In the bottom of the second, Toronto Playgrounds put the pedal to the metal and scored nine runs to take a commanding 13-3 lead. The TP offensive juggernaut was led by respective RBI singles by Jack K. (13), Tyler, Cam (77), Zach (32), Jack H.; a sacrifice RBI hit by Sasha; and a triple by Owen (5).
  • Arlo pitches a stellar top of the third by keeping the Bombers off the scoresheet.
  • Tyler made a GREAT infield catch to stymie the Bloordale attack in the third.
  • Going for the jugular, TP tacks on nine insurance runs in the bottom of the third to widen their advantage to 22-3. Highlights include an inside the park home run by Tyler; a Jack H. three RBI inside the park home run; a Jack K. two RBI single; and a Tyler RBI single.

With the win, TP (1-1) will play the Royal York (1) Cardinals in their next EBA Select playoff elimination game at 1:30 p.m. this afternoon (Saturday, August 9) at Carmen Bush.

Each of the nine teams participating in this season’s EBA Peewee Select Championship Tournament are working under a double knockout playoff formula, whereby a team has to lose two games in order to be eliminated. Should a team reach the final round undefeated, they will have to lose twice to be eliminated.
