Adam Hall and his Canadian Junior National Team capped off the Dominican Summer League tour with a 15-7 win over MLB Prospect League in a contest that spanned over four hours and featured 27 hits, 10 errors and 19 walks, 15 of which were issued by the Prospects.
The win gives the Junior National Team a record of 8-6 as the squad competed in 14 games over a ten-day period.
Two singles from Hall and Andrew Yerzy put runners on the corners in the top of the first and Hall scurried home on a wild pitch to give the juniors an early 1-0 lead.
In the second inning, the juniors sent ten batters to the plate and scored five runs to go up by six. Jason Willow got things going with a lead off single to left and scored when Tyler Duncan followed with a triple down the right field line. Edouard Julien then reached on an error that brought Duncan home before Cooper Davis picked up his second hit of the game, this time, a triple to left that forced the Prospects to make a pitching change. After a strikeout, walks to Hall and Yerzy brought Clayton Keyes to the plate who promptly ripped a single up the middle to score Hall.
With two out in the third, Cooper Davis picked up his third hit in as many at bats with a single to right, stole second, and after a couple walks, scored when Yerzy drew a bases loaded walk. Keyes followed and was then hit by a pitch that scored Noah Naylor and the juniors led 8-0.
Back-to-back errors put runners on the corners for the Prospects in the bottom of the fourth before a single to left and a double to the gap in left scored two to put them on the scoreboard.
In the fifth, Naylor dropped a leadoff single into left and with one out, Yerzy single to right before Clayton Keyes walked to load the bases. A pop up to shallow left field followed that was dropped by the shortstop that allowed Naylor to score although Yerzy was forced out at third base.
Jack DeCooman entered the game in relief in the bottom of the fifth and issued a lead off walk before a double to the gap in right brought in the third run of the game for the Prospects.
Three walks, an error and a wild pitch brought in a run before Dondrae Bremner whacked a double to right that brought in two more. A throwing error brought in both Clayton Keyes and Bremner as the juniors scored five in the inning to go up 14-3.
Some sloppy defence cost the juniors in the eighth as the prospects scored two runs as a result of a walk, error and a base hit that saw two runs score as the juniors failed to execute on a rundown to make the score 14-5.
The Prospects added two runs in the ninth as they used back-to-back singles and an error to put runners on second and third before an RBI single scored two to round out the scoring.
