2013 Tri City INDIANS Bantam AAA baseball NEWS ITEM

The Indians travelled to Richmond Wednesday night looking to atone for the 6-2 drubbing they absorbed by the Chuckers just 7 days earlier. The Indians jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead over their hosts by picking up 2 runs in the 1st and 3 in the 2nd inning along with 2 more in top of 3. The Chuckers bounced back with 4 runs on a couple of Indians miscues in the bottom of the 3rd. The top of the 4 saw the Indians increase their lead to 9-4 but again the Chuckers batted back off SP Garinder before Lucas was brought in to quelch the Chuckers rally and leave the Indians up 9-5 after 4 innings. Lucas was solid through the 6th inning and Trevor pitched the 7th and looked sharp to seal the win. Indians added 5 runs in the 7th to win 14-5. Indians bats were alive in this one led by a 4 hit performance by Nic.

Next up for the Tri-City squad is the completion of the protested game vs Abbotsford with the Indians up 6-4 in the bottom of the 5th. Tri-City had earlier won this game 14-4 but an Abbotsford protest resulted in the game to be replayed from this point. The Indians disagree totally with the decision by BC Minor but will hope to hold on to the win against the high-flying Abbotsford squad.
