Barons open season with big win over Windsor Juniors

The Leamington Senior Barons opened their Essex County Senior Baseball League season with a 10-0 whitewashing of Windsor Athletics Juniors on Friday, May 24 at the Kinsmen diamonds.

Dawson Iles threw five commanding innings on the mound, with Kam Wall finishing up to combine on the shutout.

Iles, who struck out 10, was happy with the defence behind him.

“Pretty good to start the year off,” said Iles. “Boys came in well on the defensive side of the ball, looking to build off this win with more to come.”

Wall went two-for-three at the plate with a double, a triple, a walk and four RBIs.

“Great opening day,” said Wall after the game. “Nerves were high but the boys settled down and got the win. Looking forward to another fun summer with the team.”
