Adam Hall and his Canadian Junior National Teammates earned a pair of one run victories to sweep a doubleheader, first they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies Dominican squad 4-3 in the morning before taking care of the Detroit Tigers, 3-2, in the afternoon match up.
The juniors improve their record on the Dominican Summer League tour to 7-5 with two games remaining on the schedule.
In the opener starter Tim Walters and relievers Terrell Rogers and Ben Abram gave up just one run each. Walters gave up four hits and two walks, while Rogers allowed just one hit and one walk and had one strikeout. Abram blanked the Phillies for three innings before they scored a run in the ninth.
The afternoon matchup saw third baseman Dondrae Bremner become a human vacuum on the hot corner as he made diving catches for outs in the fourth and fifth.
Noah Naylor kept his fine week at the plate going as he went 2-for-3 with singles in the fifth and eighth innings and walked in the first to reach base on all three of his plate appearances.
