Beneath a Saran Wrap layer of warm and humid skies, the Toronto Playgrounds Major Mosquito Selects defeated the Royal York White 24-1 in four innings of Etobicoke Baseball Association (EBA) Select Loop action this evening at Jeff Healey Park.

In a lopsided affair, TP utilized a relentless twenty-three assault and took advantage of eleven Cardinals errors to cruise to a dominating victory.

Here is a brief recap of the proceedings:

  • TP jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the top half of the first. After a leadoff double by Momo (18), Charlie (8) stroked a RBI single to bring him home with the opening run of the game.
  • After advancing to third on a steal and an error, Charlie blazed homeward on a passed ball to score a run. After Cooper (3) drew a walk and made his way around the horn to third base courtesy of passed ball and steal, Milo (27) delivered a RBI liner to centre field to bring him homeward.
  • With one out and a runner on third, William (33) stroked a RBI single to bring Milo home. After William stole his way to third, Rocco (99) delivered a RBI single to bring him home with the peameal bacon.
  • In the bottom of the first, TP starter Charlie tallied a groundout, strikeout and fly out to keep Royal York off the scoring ledger.
  • With the wind in their sails, TP added another six to their booty in the top of the second to widen their advantage to 11-0. After Momo garnered a leadoff walk and Charlie reached base on a dropped third strike, Cooper drew a walk to load the bases. A passed ball would allow Charlie and Cooper to move up a base and bring Momo home with a run.
  • With two ducklings on the lake, Milo stroked a RBI single to advance Cooper to third and bring Charlie homeward. Subsequently, with one out and runners at third and second, William delivered a RBI single that moved Milo to third and delivered Cooper home to roost.
  • Julian (20) followed with a RBI single that propelled William to third and allowed Milo to score. A Cardinals faux pas would allow Julian to shuffle over to second and bring William home with the Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Subsequently, with two outs and a capybara on second, Sean (13) stroked a clutch RBI single to plate Julian.
  • With 1-2-3 efficiency, TP starter Charlie chalked up a fly out and a pair of strikeouts in the bottom of the second to keep the Cardinals grounded in their nest.
  • TP exploded for seven in the top portion of the third to increase their lead to 18-0. After stroking a one out single, Momo sashayed his way around the horn courtesy of an error, passed ball, and another error to score a run.
  • After Charlie and Cooper garnered back to back walks that put two mallards on the pond, a faux pas by the Royal York defence allowed Cooper to reach third and bring Charlie home with a run. Milo followed with a RBI single to bring Cooper home. After moseying over to third via a passed ball and error, Milo bolted home to score a run on a passed ball.
  • After Dylan (10) reached base on a dropped third strike, William launched a RBI double to bring him home to crow. Subsequently, with a runner on third, Julian stroked a RBI single to bring William home with the Hostess Ho Ho’s. Following respective singles by Rocco and Arlo (15) that loaded the bases, Julian took advantage of a Cardinals error to charge home with a run.
  • Toronto Playgrounds added six insurance runs in the top of the fourth to solidify their lead at 24-0. Following a leadoff double by Charlie, Cooper stroked a RBI single to bring him home.
  • Subsequently, with one out and runners at third and second, a Royal York error allowed Milo (who reached base on a walk) to advance to third and bring Cooper homeward. William followed with a RBI double that brought Milo home to do the jitterbug.
  • With one aboard, Julian delivered a RBI single that allowed William to hustle home with the Ferrero Rocher chocolates. After Rocco reached base on a hit by pitch that put two otters on the lake, Arlo connected for a two RBI single to bring Julian and Rocco home to do the shimmy, shimmy, shake.
  • Refusing to quietly into the night, Royal York donned their rally caps in the bottom of the fourth in a quest to break the goose egg. With one out and a runner on third, Ryan hit into a 1-3 groundout that allowed Sam B. to come home with a run.
  • Unfazed, TP reliever Dylan tallied a pair of fly outs and a strikeout in the fourth to bring the curtain down on the proceedings.

The TP Major Mosquito Selects (6-0) resume play on the EBA Mosquito Select circuit with a doubleheader on Saturday (July 6) afternoon versus the Royal York Red at 2 p.m.
