The Jr Express took advantage of a bad start by Adam Garrison who appeared to aggravate an injury to get an early 5 run lead and rode the arm of Tim Keller to a 7 - 0 score. Keller was terrific coming off of back problems striking out 10 and giving up 2 hits. Ryan Heyman swung the hot bat for the express going 2 for 3 scoring twice and driving in a run. For Sydenham Terry Redden doubled into the left center gap in the top of the first but Keller shut the door with a strike out and a pop fly. The Express are playing ball this weekend in the Jim Bradford Classic in Graphton starting at 7:00 against the Peterborough Pro's.

The Kingston Cowboys used a combination of timely hitting and patience at the plate to earn a 10-2 victory over Sydenham in a 4 point game in Loughborough Fastball League action on Monday evening.  Ryan Sharpe led the way for the Cowboys going 4/4 with 5 RBI's.  Doug Kane and Adam Lake added two singles each.  Chris Switzer picked up the pitching win with Sharpe relieving to close out the game.  Sydenham scored both their runs on RBI single by Tyler Robinson.  In both the first and third innings Chris Bowes led off with a double and one out later was plated by Robinson.
