The Langley Jr. Blaze bats are in full swing as they have put together a three-game winning streak.
The U16 baseball team scored 27 runs over three games as they pushed their lead atop the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League standings to two games with a 16-5 record.
The Blaze defeated the Abbotsford Jr. Cardinals 9-7 in extra innings on May 24, when Matthew Reston delivered a bases-loaded single to score a pair of runs.
Langley won despite committing eight errors, which resulted in five unearned runs for the Cardinals.
Danny Hollins picked up the win, pitching three innings with five strikeouts.
The Blaze followed that up with a Saturday (May 26) doubleheader at McLeod Park against the Vancouver Cannons.
Again, the Langley squad needed extra innings in the opener, with Liam Godfrey's RBI single scoring Hollins, who was on base with a double.
Hollins and Andre Pelletier both had a pair of RBIs in the victory.
Mason Verge earned the win, allowing just a single hit and no runs over two and one third innings of work. He also struck out three as Langley pitchers fanned a dozen Cannon batters.
The second game saw Langley rally from an early 2-0 deficit, scoring twice in the third and then four runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings of the 10-4 victory.
Matthew Whieldon and Eric Broatch both drove in a pair of runs while Kyle Ross threw a complete game.
Langley is back in action this weekend as they host the Okanagan Jr. Athletics (2-10) in a four-game set at McLeod Park.
