Now that they know just what they are supposed to do on the baseball diamond the Burlington Herd is clearly on a roll.
The won their Saturday afternoon turnout against the Brantford Red Sox 4-1 to sweep the home-and-home with the Red Sox. Third game in a row that the team has won
Canice Ejoh, Cooper Lamb and Grant Okawa all picked up a hit and drove in a run. John Whaley and Justin Gideon each singled, doubled and scored. The host Herd broke a 1-1 tie with a three-run sixth.
That was enough offence for Burlington hurler Rich Corrente, who tossed a five-hit complete game. Corrente (1-1) struck out four and walked two and has a 1.12 earned-run average in four games (three starts).
Tyler Soucie (1-1) took the loss for Brantford, giving up three runs, three hits and three walks in two-thirds of an inning. He relieved Justin DAmato, who went the first five and allowed a run on five hits with three strikeouts.
Burlington improved to 3-7, and Brantford dropped to 2-8.
The Herd is feeling a lot better about their game these days. They are up against Barrie Baycats on Sunday who have yet to lose a game.
