BARRIE - The Barrie Baycats pounded out 21 hits on their way to a convincing 12-1 win over the Brantford Red Sox in Intercounty Baseball League action Saturday afternoon at Athletic Kulture Stadium.

Clayton Keyes added a homer in the fourth to extend the lead, while Willy Garcia and Tristan Clarke each chipped in with multi-hit, multi-RBI performances.

On the mound, Juan Benitez was in control for Barrie, allowing just one run on four hits over seven innings, striking out three without issuing a walk.
