New Lowell picks up junior title

One inning in baseball can make all the difference and for the New Lowell Knights it couldn’t be more accurate.

The Knights won the junior division championship of the North Dufferin Baseball League Thursday night with a 7-2 win over the Mansfield Cubs after scoring six runs in the fourth inning of game four. They took the series three games to one.

Game three on the previous night also went to New Lowell with an 11-5 victory after only six innings of play due to darkness.

New Lowell crossed the plate three times in the first inning on homeruns by Tyson Pendleton and a two-run shot by Lennox. Five more runs in the second crossed including a three-run shot from Pendleton. Another two runs scored in the fourth frame with a final run in the fifth inning.

In a post-game presentation after the final game, league secretary and junior division convenor Scott Anderson congratulated both teams on their performance over the season and presented the Anderson Trophy to the Knights’ Curtis Dubeau.
