Brad Thrower started the game pitching for the Thunder Bay Junior Nationals, but it was his hitting that made a difference at the Canadian Junior National Little League Championship Saturday in Lethbridge, Alta.
Thrower was 2-for-4 with four RBI as Team Ontario knocked off the Atlantic representatives from Sydney, N.S. by an 11-2 count. He now has seven RBI and is hitting .727 in three games at the tournament.
Preston Esquega had a pair of doubles for Thunder Bay.
Kenzie Lahey took the loss for the Nova Scotia squad.
Thunder Bay is back in action on Sunday, taking on the host Lethbridge team at Spitz Stadium at 2 p.m. EST.
