The visiting team from East Gwillimbury made the most of their first inning at bat as they jumped all over the home team and scored nine runs. The MoJacks managed nothing more than a walk as they went quietly by the way- side an finished the first in- ningdown 9-0. The second inning was a bet- ter effort for the ModJacks as they shut down East Gwillim- bury and scored two runs of their own to now trail by a 9-2 score. East Gwillimbury once again scored big time as they man- aged to pick up seven more runs in the third inning and take a 16-2 lead. This was to be all the runs that they would get as the MoJacks started to play a little defence and shut down this hard-hitting team the rest of the way. The ModJacks just couldn't get any sustained attack going but did manage to pick up three more runs of their own to make it a 16-5 final score. Starting the game on the mound for the ModJdacks was Ryan Hawkins who got roughed up a bit but this was his very first game as a pitcher and he was a tad nervous. Jon Froats came in to pitch the last couple of innings and did a good clean up job. The MoJacks had some good defensive plays during this game such as a super diving catch by Scott Jeffery and catcher Doug Short throwing out 5 East Gwillimbury runners trying to steal a base. Doing the hitting for the Mo- Jacks were; Ryan Williamson and Nick Skerratt with a triple each, singles by Doug Short, Ryan Hawkins and Jon Froats. Showing a keen eye at the plate once again was Jason Best who walked three times. Also pick- ing up walks were Aaron Levy, Stars win Port Perry Stars Victorious 27-6 By John Bacon The Bantam girls opened their season Thursday night in Oshawa against Kingside.
