The Crusaders got revenge for an earlier 2-1 loss to the Ponies by defeating them on Tuesday, 6-3.
Jason McBurnie pitched 6 and 2/3 innings, giving up 2 earned runs and striking out 4. Nick Christie came on in relief and walked a batter before getting the last out on a grounder to 2nd.
Offensively, Nick Pooler went 3 for 4 with 2 rbi's, a walk and stolen base. Casey Hull was 1 for 4 with a run scored, walk, and stolen base. Miles Gagnon had a sac bunt, single, and 2 stolen bases
( no style points on that last slide into 2nd!). Bill Wetherbee was 1 for 3 with 2 walks including a final at-bat that took 11 pitches before he worked the free pass. Matt Duplisea had a double that drove in the first 2 JB runs, and Shane Hass hit the ball hard all day and singled. Ryan Carr was 1 for 3 with a walk and stolen base to go along with his solid play defensively at 3rd base.
JB is now 6-2-1.
