INDIANS GO DOWN 2-0
The Alvinston Indians traveled to Fingal on Thursday evening, for game 2 of the best 3 out of 5 League Playoff Finals.
The Indians were looking to rebound after their game 1 loss, but it was not to be in game 2. The Indians allowed two runs in the second, with one run coming courtesy of a Jamie Peat solo home run for St. Thomas. Peat then singled and came around to score again in the fourth inning, making it a 3-0 lead for St. Thomas. St. Thomas would add one more run in the fifth inning when Mark Coleman tripled and then scored on an RBI single by Troy Rick.
With the score now 4-0, Alvinston was able to add two runs in the seventh inning, but that was all as Dan Beecroft pitched a tidy game for St.. Thomas, allowing only 4 hits and 3 walks in seven innings of work. Brad Young walked in the seventh for Alvinston with one out, and with two out Ryan Chapman did the same, and Craig Lyons scored both runners on an RBI double to the fence. The final score was 4-2.
Brad Young started for Alvinston and allowed three runs, and two earned runs in 3 1/3 innings of work. Kyle Crawford relieved Young and allowed 1 earned run in 2 2/3 innings of ball. Jamie Shields, Andy Triest, and Young had singles for Alvinston, with the lone extra base hit in the game for Alvinston, going to Craig Lyons.
Game 3 in the series goes Sunday night in Alvinston at 8pm. Alvinston needs to try to hold off St. Thomas, to try and make it a series, or their 2012 season will be over. Come on out and catch some great fastball action!
