The North Star Wolves were back on their home diamond last week but couldn’t get their bats rolling.
The Wolves fell to 2-2 on the regular season after suffering a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the visiting Brennan Cardinals last Wednesday afternoon at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg. The game was tied 1-1 through three innings but the Cardinals broke it open with a three-run fourth inning. The Wolves scored a run late but could not complete the comeback. The late inning run was sparked by a Hudson Purdy triple.
Wyatt Jackson and Sawyer Krokos each had two hits on the afternoon.
The Wolves were pleased with the effort on the mound, with Beau McGrath and Graham Evans each pitching well against a talented Brennan team.
“We made a few errors. We didn’t come out strong,” said McGrath.
McGrath added they have to get off to stronger starts and hit the ball better. He added they have to clean up the errors as well.
It was the second straight loss for the Wolves, following a 2-0 start to the season. North Star was also at home May 12 for a game against the Erie Migration Coyotes. The Kingsville school beat the Amherstburg school by a final score of 13-10 in six innings.
Jackson had seven strikeouts on the mound and two RBIs at the plate. Owen Scott also had a pair of RBIs with Krokos also driving in a run.
North Star has three games this week, one at home at two on the road. They hosted Tecumseh Vista Academy Tuesday in a make-up game from an earlier rained out game. That was played after this issue of the RTT went to press.
The Wolves travel to Tecumseh today (May 21) for a game against L’Essor and conclude the regular season Thursday afternoon in Essex.
