Game Post composed with file from Bill Evans.

Beneath a canopy of warm and humid skies, the Expos defeated the Pirates 8-4 in 3 ½ innings at Christie Pits Diamond 2 to win their Peewee Division season opener.

Here is a game recap:

FIRST INNING
  • The Pirates threaten with two runners on base in the top of the frame. However, the Expos get out of the inning unscathed when first baseman Avi (10) makes an unassisted putout at first; followed by a strikeout from Expos starter Harris (12); and shortstop Adam (1) hooks up with Alexia (3) for a 6-4 putout to end the inning.
  • Pirates starter Alex (2) extinguishes the Expos scoring threat in the bottom of the inning. After Alex struck out the leadoff batter, the Expos drew a pair of back to walks to pit two ducks on the pond. However, Alex snuffs out the insurgency by striking out the next two Expos hitters to end the inning.
SECOND INNING
  • The Buccaneers scored a pair to take a 2-0 lead in the top of the second. However, Expos starter Harris helped his team out of a sticky wicket by mowing down three gnarly Pirates with a Toro TimeCutter SS4225 to minimize the damage.
  • Olivia (6) records the first Expo hit of the 2015 season! Olivia comes home to roost on Cameron’s (15) two RBI double. Subsequently, Cameron and Ella score on respective RBIs from Avi and Harris. Expos take a 4-2 lead.
THIRD INNING
  • Expos reliever Haydn (11) enters the fray in the top of the third and strikes out two Pirates batters. However, the pesky Bucs plate two to knot the score.
  • Adam, Haydn and Olivia (her second of the game!!) record hits in the bottom half of the third. Haydn and Olivia record RBIs. The Expos finish the four run inning with another RBI base hit from Cameron.

FOURTH INNING

  • Riding in from the bullpen atop a John Deere X304, Expos closer Adam (1) comes into the proceedings in the top of the fourth and records three strikeouts for the win.
