Rookies Finish Exhibition Schedule With Win
The Mitchell Stickhandler Tier 1 Major Rookie Astros closed out their exhibition schedule on Aug 31st with a visit to Stratford, returning home with a 23-12 victory. The visitors scored early and often, plating the maximum seven runs in the top of the first inning, highlighted by RBI triples by Jordan Visneskie and Hayden Nicholson.

Stratford responded with four of their own runs in the bottom half, but the locals scored another five in the second and never looked back. Second baseman Dominic Marshall had a huge night at the plate, going 5-for-5 with two triples, a double, three RBIs, and five runs scored.  Extra base hits were also recorded by Carson Harmer and Jack Miller.  Visneskie, Harmer, and Darius Ladd each chipped in with three runs scored. Ryan Hubbard had the defensive highlight of the night, tracking down a ball hit past him in left centre field and firing a strike to Visneskie at third base to gun down a runner. The locals open the OBA Provincial 'D' Championship on Friday Sept 2nd, facing Delhi in the opening round.
