Twiliters are true masters of the game

by SCOTT STANFIELD, Special to the Citizen

The Stony Plain Twiliters have yet to win a game heading into this morning’s meeting with the Charlottetown Razzy’s Roadhouse Fawcetts.

But the Alberta team — competing in its first-ever Canadian senior A men’s fastpitch championship — is nevertheless looking forward to doing some damage this weekend in the championship round, even if they are destined for the lower half of the draw.

“We’re having a great time here, just a fantastic time here,” player/coach Kevin Lannon said Tuesday following a 6-2 loss to the host Prince George Black Bears. “This is the first time for most of us. We knew coming here we’d be in tough. We’ve been in some games, we’ve had some tough luck, but we’re working towards the weekend and we’ll see what we can do. (more…)

by JASON PETERS, Citizen staff

They were still licking the wounds inflicted during an 8-1 Monday night loss to the Prince George Black Bears. For the Vancouver Grey Sox, a 10-4 drubbing at the hands of the St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials Tuesday morning was the equivalent of salt in the sores. (more…)

Favourites avoid near-upsets

by JASON PETERS, Citizen staff

Sean O’Brien had mixed feelings about his home run.

O’Brien’s hit barely cleared the centre field fence and helped his St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials avoid an upset at the hands of Newfoundland Impact Signs during Monday afternoon play at the Canadian senior men’s fastpitch championship.

O’Brien’s solo shot at Spruce City Stadium came in the first at-bat in the top of the seventh inning and pulled the Centennials into a 2-2 tie with Impact Signs. St. Thomas, the defending champions, went on to win the game 4-2.
