A hard-working New Westminster Mariners men’s baseball team continued its revenge on the Burnaby Pirates in Lower Mainland Baseball Association (LMBA) action Sunday.
The Mariners took down the Burnaby squad 6-3 in a home game at Queen’s Park Stadium.
“This year we’re 2-0 against them. Last year we beat them up as well, except they beat us in the playoffs, so there’s a little bit of rivalry there,” assistant coach and centre-fielder Maurice Jackson told the Record.
The Mariners got on the board early, with the score staying at 4-0 for much of the game, but the Pirates fought back late, Jackson said.
“Joon Park pitched really well, and Mike (Mudry) closed out the game nicely,” Jackson said.
Playing in two leagues – the LMBA and Poco Men’s Baseball – the Mariners continue their hectic schedule Sunday with a home game against the Vancouver As. The game starts at 10 a.m. Admission is free.
