Jackfish reel in Majors

WELLAND - The Welland Jackfish continued their strong Intercounty Baseball League season Saturday night, topping the visiting London Majors 10-6 at Welland Stadium.
Pier-Olivier Boucher led the way for the Jackfish, hitting his first home run of the season — a three-run shot - in the second inning. Jonah Weisner chipped in with two hits and a pair of RBI, and Austin Gomm added a triple and an RBI in the win.
Welland jumped out early, scoring three runs in the second inning and adding insurance late with two-run frames in both the sixth and seventh.
The Majors made it interesting in the fifth, plating four runs, highlighted by a three-run homer from Toby Simmons, but couldn’t keep pace with the Jackfish offense.
Jack Seward earned the win in relief, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings with two strikeouts, while Ricardo Alvarez DeLugo took the loss for London after surrendering four runs in just 1.1 innings of work.
With the victory, Welland improves to 14-5 on the season and host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Canada Day at 6:05pm, while the Majors fall to 12-7 and also host the Maple Leafs, but on Sunday at 1:05pm.
