BVB Marauders Baseball Club

Maurauders Open on the right foot…!

The Marauders got off to a goThe Marauders got off to a good start with an opening night 5-4 victory over the Hobos. It was a solid performance by the club offensively and defensively.

Patience at the plate lead to 8 walks and set the table for the 5 runs. Timely hitting by Frank Iker started the scoring in the first inning and a clutch 2 RBI double by Steve Blanchet in the 3rd inning got the Marauders an early lead.

Solid pitching by Frank Iker (the win), Bryant Sullivan (the hold) and Darryl Alwyard (the save) kept an explosive Hobo line up in check for most of the game. Dave Hall with a great throw from right field threw out Shawn Pomfret for an inning ending double play.

Aside from an error filled 5th inning that saw shortstop Justin Hostick complete the Charlie Neilson hat trick (3 consecutive errors) the Hobos were held them to 1 earned run.

News and Notes from the Nest:	Welcome Home Darryl
All is well in the world. Despite all the doom and gloom out there, we managed to play ball on the weekend. In two scrimmages this weekend the Marauders got a chance to shake off the winter rust and play some ball. Justin Hostick and Steve Blanchet were the top hitters on the weekend as each of them looked like they spent some time in the cage prior to the season starting. Strong pitching by Frank Iker, Claude Babin and the always dependable Steve Slann were positive notes over the weekend. Jim Harrow left the game on Sunday with what could be a fractured wrist. The X-Rays are not conclusive at this point in time. Jim plays hard always giving a 100% and throws his body into the game. We are hoping that he is not out too long.	An opening day signing of returning pitcher Darryl Aylward was a nice surprise. Darryl will certainly add depth to the pitching rotation and as a fellow postal service employee gives Slanny someone to hang with.
IKE declares:
On Friday Marauder Frank Iker informed the league that he would like to play for the 49ers in this years Canadian National Baseball Tournament in Yarmouth. A versatile player on the field Frank can pitch, play in the infield and catch he is also a very skilled tactician and will be a welcome addition to the 49ers.
