Jonas Coyes started the first game of the day on the mound and went a solid 5 innings giving up only 1 earned run.  Markus Blair came in relief after Jonas Coyes who was injured on a line drive.  Markus was dominate on the mound in the 2 innings he pitched striking out 4 batters and earning himself a save.  Offensively, Garrett Perlette, Cole Schneider and Brett Semeniuk all contributed with multi hit games.  The Baseball Academy took advantage on the base paths stealing 4 bases and playing pretty good defense picking off runners at first base and at second base to secure a win for Jonas Coyes and the Academy.  In the second game Derek Shedden threw a 68 pitch complete game striking out 6 batters and staying in control all game.  Derek had outstanding off - speed control all game and kept the Indians off balance only surrendering 2 hits on the day.  Derek was matched by the Tri-Cities Indians pitcher who was just as effective only allowing 2 hits on the day and the Baseball Academy fell 2-0 in a game that took only 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete. 

It was another successful Spring Training trip to the coast and the Baseball Academy staff would like to thank all the teams from British Columbia including Cloverdale, Burnaby and Tri - Cities Baseball Associations for hosting us and making the fields playable for the students in the Baseball Academy.  Also a big thanks to the Langley Blaze who allowed us to use McLeod Park and their indoor batting cages.  Of course this would not be possible without the cooperation of the parents especially those who made the trip to the coast!
