New Zealand Black Sox in New Dundee
June 23, 2011
New Dundee, ON
Lightning struck twice in New Dundee Wednesday night...
In the first game of a double header featuring the touring New Zealand
Black Sox, Ryan French, starting pitcher for the KW Cubs was the
lightning in the opening game.
French of New Dundee, threw a 7 inning shutout for the Cubs against the
powerful New Zealand Black Sox, facing 30 batters, allowing no runs, on
6 hits and 7 strikeouts.
At the plate Dan Mitchel had 3 RBIs to lead the local fastball team to a 5 - 0
win.
Lightning shortened the second game in the top of the 3rd inning. This
time against an All Star team of Tri County All Stars, the New
Zealand squad took a 3 - 0 lead on a towering 300 foot 3 run homer to
centre left field by Wayne Laulou, the designated player.
Campbell Makea followed that homer with a triple that he tried to
stretch to a home run but was out in a run down at 3rd...then the rain
came down, the thunder threat turned to lightning and the fans, players
and umps headed for cover...leaving the Tri County AllStars with no
opportunity to catch up
