The Aldergrove bantam A Red Sox clinched first place in their division of the Ross Tournament at Unwin Park in Newton on Wednesday, May 23.
The squad defeated the Newton Braves 12-3 in the final game, which was rained out on the Victoria Day long weekend and had to be played later in the week.
It was the second time that the two teams squared off against one another in the tournament. Aldergrove faced the Braves in their first game of the weekend, and came out ahead 9-1, behind the dominant pitching of MVP Riley Ens.
In game two, the Red Sox faced the Newton Mariners and took the game 14-5 with some strong hitting from the team. Ian Burns took home MVP honours.
In the final match, Ens again took to the mound for almost a full five innings before giving way to game MVP C.J. Jamieson.
Game highlights included a strong relay from Braeden Palmer to Burns to Travis Thiesen at third base to get the out on what would have been a triple for the Braves.
A double play from the Red Sox in the seventh recorded outs at first base and home plate on a ground ball to Burns, Ens and Brendan Peterson.
Other members of the team are: Austin Arsenault, Sam Cumyn, Colin Hopes, Tony Johnson, Daven Minhas, Nick Sheel and Andrew Tingren.
