After a good run in London at the Lakeside Tournament which resulted in a semi-final showing, the Milton Red Sox had a light schedule this past week in COBA Major Baseball League play. Their sole game was on the road as they made the trek to Dave Dash Memorial Field and a date with the Brampton Royals

 

The visitors didn't waste any time as they pushed across a pair of runs in the first inning. The Royals answered back with a run in the bottom half for a 2-1 lead for Milton. After a scoreless second inning, the Red Sox got the stick rolling in the third inning as they plated six runs for an 8-1 lead. 

 

They didn't stop there as they scored another two runs in the fifth inning follwoed by another four runs in the sixth inning to put this game out of reach. Brampton showed some life in the bottom half of the sixth plating a run but Milton snuffed any ideas of a comeback scoring five more runs in the top of the seventh inning leading to a 19-2 final score for the Red Sox.

 

Nick Tiensovan led the way for the Sox going 3-for-6 with three doubles, a pair of runs and an RBI. Liam Buckley was 3-for-4 with a triple, a walk, three runs and two RBIs while Nicholas Feren was also 3-for-4 with a walk, three runs and three RBIs. Matthew Correira was 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI while Justin Cruz was also 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs and three RBIs. 

 

Veteran Kevin Greer was 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a pair of runs and an RBI. Eric Beharri was 1-for-5 with three runs and two RBI while Sean Alp wrapped up the Milton offense going 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run and three RBIs. Jayden Jeminson led the Royals offense going 2-for-2 with two doubles, a walk, a run and a stolen base. Marco DiRoma and CJ Fearon had the other hits for Brampton.

 

Dylan Clark was the beneficiary of all the Milton offence as he collected the win on the mound. He went six innings, allowing two runs (both earned) on three hits. He walked three batters and struck out five. For his efforts, he was named the COBA Major League Sam Bat Pitcher of the Week. Joe Giansante tossed a scoreless seventh inning allowing a hit, walking two and striking out three. Yannick Rickli started and took the loss for the Royals.
