Ontario Terriers

All three Ontario Terriers teams were in action over the weekend and there were plenty of highlights.

17U:

The Terriers 17U squad was in the nation's capital to take on Watson Elite. They were only able to get two of their four scheduled games in due to weather, but they made the most of their opportunities.

In Game 1, a 9-4 win, Jordan Woods struck out 13 over five innings to earn the victory. Woods allowed three runs on five hits and walked a pair.

Josh Cote smashed a three-run home run to spark the offence.

Game 2 saw the Terriers walk away with a 10-6, nine-inning ,extra-inning win. Keegan O'Hearn hit a three-run home run and Cote left the yard again, this time it was a solo shot, as the Terriers put up four runs in the top of the ninth to secure the victory.

Julian Russell had two hits and two RBIs, while Joziah Baffoe-Bonnie also chipped in two hits with a walk and a RBI.

16U:

Nathan Currah tossed six innings and gave up four runs (two earned) on four hits with a walk and seven strikeouts as the Terriers 16U beat the Ontario Titans 11-4 in Game 1 of their series.

Lucas Alberti, Luke Connors, Ryan Arora and Jason Green all had two hits.

The back half of the double-dip also went the Terriers way as they earned a 13-10 win. Powering the offence was Noah Konings, Lucas Alberti, Luke Connors, and Solly Wener with two hits each.

One of Connors knocks was a two-run home run.

15U:

Luca Alagheband threw all six innings to help lead the Terriers 15U to a 10-1 win over the Ontario Titans. Alagheband yielded an unearned run on three hits and punched out an impressive 11.

The big blow came off the bat of Joshua Bushen. He belted a three-run home run in the top of fifth to break a 1-1 tie.

Marc Nellis went 3-for-4 with a RBI and Cameron Brown, Jackson Torrance and Sam Anderson all contributed a pair of hits.
