It seems that the Angels and Vancouver Mounties are destined to always play each other in the rain. For the 3rd time, the two teams faced off in somewhat wet conditions (not as bad as the downpour in first first two games in Richmond or Newton) Hopefully the same won't happen for the July 11 and July 28 regular season games!    At the Annual Cloverdale CanAM cup tournament, the Angels started well, matching Vancouver run for run and even taking a 3-2 lead into the top of the 4th due to a nice triple from Austen. With Vancouver at bat, the Angels made some costly fielding errors that allowed Vancouver to score 4 runs.  The Angels were unable to score any runs in the bottom of the 4th.  The fifth inning was the last inning played due to time limits.  Vancouver padded to their lead with 3 more runs, once again due primarily to fielding errors.  Going into the bottom of the fifth, the Angels trailed 9-3.   Noah led off with a nice single.  Liam also got on base as did Cade.  Tanner hit a nice ball to score Liam and Cade however was thrown out on 2nd trying to stretch it to a double.The Angels managed to score 3 in that inning but alas, that was all they could muster.   Keaton and Jonah pitched well. Especially considering that they are pitching from a further distance (60ft).  Final score Angels 6, Vancouver 9.

Hopefully the wrinkles are all ironed out now as the Angels will take on the division leading Cloverdale Black Spurs on Saturday.    Cloverdale will be looking to avenge their loss against the Angels 2 weeks ago so bring your "A" game boys!

Go Angels.
