EAST HANTS: <\/strong>The LWF Warriors used a five-plus run inning to break open a close contest and didn’t look back as they opened the U-15 A Tier 2 provincials with a victory on Sept. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LWF had got out to a 2-0 lead before the host East Hants Nationals clawed back in a long inning to make it 2-2, although they failed to add more as the pitching and defence shut things down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Hants stranded two runners in what could have been a bigger inning and given them the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That allowed LWF an opportunity a couple innings later, and they didn’t miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Warriors hit and hit and used a few walks to their advantage as they scored five runs to make it 7-2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LWF would add four more runs to make it an 11-4 final score and a winning start to the provincials for the Fall River\/Windsor Junction based team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some game action photos we snapped with our EOS R10 camera (its first use at a sports event):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
