9U Cardinals start season with a 9-0 win
Creemore 9U had their first game and
home opener this week.
The teams dedication to defence was
on display right off the hop as they shut
out the opposition.
Si Stephens and Adair McIntosh Shepley (left) teamed up for a great
play at first to start things off. A pair
of huge plays helped keep Wasaga off
the score sheet.
With the bases loaded, short stop
Easton Cross scooped up a hard
ground ball and delivered a strike to
teammate Everett Kaden at second
for the third out. McIntosh-Shepley
fumbled the ball but recovered and
was able to put a tag on the runner for
a close play at third.
The bats were flying as well. Led
by Findlay Ross’ two massive hits
(double and triple), the team put up 17
hits and scored nine runs over just four
innings. Stephens crushed a big double
to score a run and was perfect at the
plate. As was Gage Kaden, Vaughn
Veljacic, Easton Cross, and Christien
Stoyanovich.
After starting off the season with
a 9-0 win the team travels to Alliston
next week. Next home game is June 13
vs Mansfield.
