Flames Improve to 2-0

In a game delayed by the Billabong Bombers’ late arrival (for the 3rd time in 3 games this season), the Flames displayed enough offensive prowess to win 13-9 which brings them into a tie for first place in their division.

The Flames got off to a fast start, scoring the maximum 8 runs in the bat around first inning. The team had to hang on as the Bombers cut the lead to 9-8 at the end of 3 innings.

The Flames iced the game in the 5th inning on a 2 run double by Kris, which extended the lead to 13-8.

Offensively, the Flames were led by good days at the plate by Ted (5 for 5), Kris (4 for 4 with 3 runs scored), Kelly (3 for 4) and Julia (2 for 5 with 2 runs).

This week, the Flames face their archrivals – the Bat Wings, who defeated the Flames 8-7 in the spring championship game. The Flames will be shorthanded as Joseph, Kris and Sean are expected to miss the game. Call ups from the farm team are expected to be announced shortly.
