The 5-foot-7, 145-pound shortstop Maves had a strong showing at the plate. He finished the game 2-3 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI’s and a walk. Maves showed good bat speed and a compact swing.

East York’s lone two runs of the game were scored by their first two batters of the game in the top of the first inning. Their leadoff hitter, Trovgakas, reached base by way of a dropped third strike while second hitter, Gluyns, reached base with a walk. These were the only two players to cross the plate for East York in game one of the doubleheader.

In game two of the doubleheader, the Rangers’ bats broke out powering them to a 12-1 win and a doubleheader sweep. The Rangers’ were led by pitcher Nathan Zimmerman along with the bats of Sean Walmsley and Cameron Dyck.

On the mound, Zimmerman gave up three hits, no walks, one unearned run while striking out two over four excellent innings of work.
