Posted May 26/12 - Dodgers Bust Slump with Tremendous Team Effort
Langley Aldergrove Dodgers gave a full team effort and earned a split in their double header vs. White Rock Tritons Saturday afternoon in White Rock.  In both games the Tritons surged out of the gate (going ahead by 3 runs in the first game and 6 runs in the second game) only to see the Dodgers storm back.  In the first game James Hardy relieved starter Ethan Kano McGregor and performed well holding the Triton bats at bay. While on offense, the Dodger bats finally came alive and scored 10 runs to seal the victory.  Big hits and RBI's were supplied by Bailey Roope, James Hardy, Jaron Jeske, and Yi-Fan Pan.  Mitch Taylor, as well as playing excellent behind the plate, earned 2 RBI's by putting the ball in play.

In the second game the Dodgers spotted the Tritons a six spot but didn't give up and slowly worked themselves back into the game. Spencer Barkes relieved Yi-Fan Pan and kept the Dodgers in the game.  Meanwhile the Dodgers ultimately tied the game at 9 with 4 runs in the top of the 7th inning.  Although the Tritons finally pulled out the victory with a run in the bottom of frame, the Dodgers proved to themselves that positive attitudes, aggression at the plate, smart base running and sound defence will result in victories.  Notables in the second game were Jaron Jeske with his first innings behind the plate (and a big RBI double), Justin Arnold with a towering double, Matthew Selinger who went 2 for 3 with an RBI, Yi-Fan Pan another hit, Bailey Roope with hard grounder for an infield single, and Jackson LaPointe with a solid single.  On defence, Ethan Kano McGregor shone with a beautiful diving catch in short left field. 

All in all, it was a great team effort that bodes well for the rest of the season.
