Rainey’s Bricklen Anderson Tosses 5 hitter, Striking Out 10 Enroute to Victory
Team Rainey upset a higher ranked team for the second time in two days, with a 2-1 win over the host team, the Hallman Twins of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada Sunday night at the ISC World Tournament. The game was carried live on streaming video on “ISCTV”. Bricklen Anderson was the winning pitcher for Team Rainey, going the distance, and scattering 5 hits, striking out 10 and walking only one, holding Kitchener to just one run. Chris Hunt was once again the offensive hero for Rainey, driving what proved to be the winning run in the 6th inning. Hunt powered the Rainey offense in their opening round win with two home runs. Rainey scored one run in the second, on an RBI single by young Andrew Medredwich, and the winning run in the sixth on Hunt’s RBI single. Hunt, and Jesse Duncan had two hits each for Rainey. Kitchener scored their lone run on a solo homer by Chris Shewfelt in the 7th inning.

Team Rainey will now advance to the third round of the winner’s bracket, and face NY Patsy’s, which won their second round game as well. If both team continue the pitching rotation, the game Tuesday night could pit Rainey’s 22 year old phenom, Sebastian Gesvutti against young New Zealander Adam Folkard, just up from the New Zealand National Jr. Men’s World Champions in 2005.
