Wood’s one-hitter leads B.C. to gold medal at Canada Summer Games

Team B.C. baseball squad featured six Langley players

It was game, set and match after just one inning in the gold medal game in the baseball championship final on Friday at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que.

Pitcher Colton Wood threw a one-hit complete game with 10 strikeouts as Team B.C. defeated Team Ontario 5-0 in the final.

And the B.C. offence plated five runs in the bottom of the first inning, which was more than enough offence for Wood.

The B.C. roster featured Langley’s Luke Horanski and Kristjan Storrie, as well as a handful of their U18 Langley Blaze teammates from this past season, Andre Pelletier, Mitchell Robinson, Justin Lawrence and Kyle Ross.

The team went 6-1, including playoffs, at the tournament with an average margin of victory of 8.5 runs per game.
