Ontario Spotlight Game: Toronto Mets 16U (Orange) vs OBJ 16 U (Ellison)

Pickering - With both teams starting off their season last weekend and walking away with three wins a piece, tonight’s mid week matchup would see somebody’s winning streak come to an end.

The Mets started right-handed Kieran Gagnon on the mound while OBJ countered with Dalton Brownlee. With a clean first inning from Gagnon, the Mets jumped out to an early lead as all three hitters in the lineup crossed the plate in the first inning thanks to a RBI single by Noel McGarry Doyle and a sacrifice fly from 2019 grad Noah Hull. Gagnon was on cruise control after that as he ended up going five innings while only allowing 2 hits and 1 unearned run, punching out 4.

The Mets continued to add to their lead as they threw up runs in the second, fourth and sixth innings as a triple by speedy 2019 outfielder Joel McKnight brought in two runs in the fourth while 5 base hits in the bottom of the sixth gave the Mets the breathing room they needed to close out the game and secure the win.

Along with McKnight’s triple, he played a solid centre field showing his range and speed to take away a hit just behind the infield cut while Doyle was 3 for 3 at the dish, scoring 2 runs, driving in one run and drawing a walk with a stolen base.

16u Mets Orange now move to 4-0 on the season while OBJ Ellison are 3-2 in league play.
