Umpires are back to calling balls and strikes behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.
A new men’s fastball season in 100 Mile House is underway following opening night on May 12 when the Red Rock Avengers, the league’s back-to-back champs, and Jake’s Pub Old Buds, last season’s other finalist, went head-to-head.
The boys not only knocked the winter rust off, they tore the cover off a few balls, tallying a ton of runs and getting the offence going early in the season.
Jake’s Old Buds scored 14 runs to Red Rock’s 11.
Greg Parent pitched for Jake’s Old Buds, while Pat Findlay pitched for Red Rock.
The Sanford & Dillman Hornets played Exeter Sports on May 13, after press time.
Exeter and Jake’s Old Buds square off May 15, and Red Rock and Canim Lake are on the schedule for May 20 following a break over the long weekend.
