Small ball, Williams helped close out Jamestown tourney with win
Post 334 used a little small ball and four stellar innings of relief pitching by Alex Williams to stymie the Regina Wolfpack
3-1 in the final game of the annual Jamestown tournament Sunday afternoon. The victory gave Post 334 tournament record and the mythical title.
Like Post 334 did against Saskatoon the day before, it pulled out the wooden bats to play Regina and managed seven hits. Two of the hits were off the bat of Tony Remund, including an important last-of-the-sixth, two-out, RBI double that
Alex Williams
turned a tight 2-1 game into a little more comfortable 3-1 margin.
Post 334 scored one in the first on Mike Latta’s sacrifice fly and took the lead for keeps in the hitrd hwne Remund walked, was bunted to second by Latta and scored on Brandon Flippen’s hit. In the sixth, Remund drove home Bo Daniels, who had drawn a one-out walk, from first with the insurance run.
Ben Roseth pitched the first three innings, but had to work out of trouble in each. A double play in the the top of the third enabled him to leave with the score tied 1-1. Williams came on in the fourth and gave up just three hits, while striking out four. He, too, relied on defense — a double play — to keep Regina at one run.
