Defending champs impress in opener

Citizen staff

Action from Sunday’s opening day at the Canadian Senior Men’s Fastpitch Championship, which runs through Sunday at Spruce City Stadium:

St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials 6 Stony Plain Twiliters 0

The defending champions rushed out in a strong way, scoring all their runs via the long ball and riding the complete-game performance of hurler Frank Cox in a shutout victory over the Alberta representative.

Outfielder Daly Levy of St. Thomas fired the first shot, a solo blast to right centre. Shortstop Chris Jones took a Darrell Tilley pitch over the fence in centre field for a three-run improvement, and first baseman Tim Macumber added a two-run shot to complete the scoring.

St. Thomas (1-0) will face Newfoundland (11:30 a.m.) and Jarvis (6 p.m.) today, while Stony Plain (0-2) has but one game, a 1:30 encounter with Saskatoon.
