Dodgers win the Pennant !!

Another year and another first place finish. That was the case Monday Night as the Dalhousie Dodger defeated the Beresford Aces 11-1 to capture their Second Consecutive R.C.I.B.L Regular Season Pennant.

The Dodgers started the game trailing 1-0 until tying it up in the bottom of the second. In the third Cory Zakrevsky would drive in what would become the games winning run with a two run double. The Dodgers bats came alive after that as they scored seven runs in a spam of five innings to stop the game in the fifth inning. Justin MacCurdy, Andrew Carter, Mike Marcello and Roger Hickey all contributed key hits for the squad with Serge Lebel pitching five innings allowing only one run for the win.

With the win the Dodgers clinched their second consecutive regular season championship finishing one game ahead of Bathurst in the regular season standing. Coach Jason Rae said, “It is a nice accomplishment for our ball squad. At the beginning of the year people doubted the team because of the players we lost during the offseason. Even with a slow start we were able to come together and gel at the right time. Our focus now turns to the League championship”.

The Dodgers will begin their playoff series Thursday night as they take on the Beresford Aces. Game one of the best of five series will be at 8:00pm at Dodgers field in Dalhousie, Weather permitting.
