TORONTO PLAYGROUNDS TAME THE WOLVERINES AT PELMO PARK TO EARN ITS FIFTH EBA SELECT VICTORY OF THE SEASON
Daniel (46) sparked the TP attack against Weston by delivering two hits and four RBI’s versus the Wolverines.
Under a canopy of hot and hazy summer skies, the Toronto Playgrounds Major Peewee Selects defeated the Weston Wolverines 17-2 in three innings of Etobicoke Baseball Association (EBA) Select action this evening at Pelmo Park.
Here is a brief recap of the proceedings courtesy of Paul Kelly, Jeff Kolyn and Vincent Lynch:
- Daniel (46) had a great game with four RBI’s against the Wolverines.
- Jackson (8) also chipped in with a four RBI game versus Weston.
- After scoring six in the first, TP continued to take advantage of the walks issued by the Wolverines bullpen and delivered key hits when necessary to build upon a lead that it would not surrender. The Major Peewees would tally eight more runs in the second and another five insurance runs in the third to salt the game away.
- Jona (15), PJ (17) and Daniel led the TP hit parade with two each.
- Displaying patience at the dish, Taio (1) drew three key walks.
- Jude (3) delivered two doubles.
- Best TP defensive putout was a relay from Jude to James (6) to Jona that got the out at second against an attempted double.
- Jona also made a great catch in right field to help out TP starter Max (20) and bring the curtain down on the second inning.
- Max pitched two strong innings allowing only one run. TP closer Jude pitched the last inning, allowing the other run.
- TP snapped a four game losing streak to earn its fifth EBA regular season victory.
The TP Major Peewee Selects (5-4) continue their summer road trip on the EBA Select circuit when they travel to Millwood Park next Wednesday, July 12 to battle the Bloordale (Green) Bombers at 6:15 p.m.
