At A's Tournament

  Superb pitching and lively bats helped the A's shock BoniVital 11 - 9 Monday night at Provencher park. The win was the third straight for a constantly improving St. James team.
   David Cameron contained the BlackSox for four solid innings, allowing only two runs and one hit. Kyle Gibson pitched well to hold off a late rally and Eric Flynn produced two outs to shut the game down.
  Cameron and Matt Dillman led the charge offensively, each singling 3 times, while Matt Hendrickson batted in 2 runs (including the winner) in the fifth inning with a hard hit double.

  Trailing after four innings, BoniVital again attempted to rally late in the game Tuesday night at Optimist Park. Again, they scored one run in the 6th and again they scored four in the 7th. This time it was enough to get the BlackSox past the A's and even the series at one game apiece.
  The A's had considerably less success at the plate in this game, scoring only 3 runs on 6 base hits. The Tilbury-Furber tandem struck out 10 batters (5 of them looking). This was in spite of numerous terrific at bats and two deep Jason Mandryk smashes that found their way into fielder's gloves.
  The game was marred by some questionable calls, and Hendrickson's nearly disastrous crash into the centre-field fence. Matt was okay, and held onto the ball (of course) to make one of the most superb catches of the year.
  Other highlights included a pefect bunt (and RBI) by Kelby Wildeman and a sharp play by Kyle Gibson to snag a liner and kick his bag to turn a critical double play in the first inning.
