Elmwood/Brimfield kicked off their season on the road on Wednesday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell 3-0 to the Canton Little Giants. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Elmwood/Brimfield of the 3-2 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2017.
For Canton's part, the result came thanks to Kash Van Houten's shutout, as he gave up just three hits and racked up eight Ks. Van Houten has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in five consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Canton's victory was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Korbin Woerly, who scored a run while going 1-for-3.
The win (which was Canton's third in a row) raised their record to 12-17.
As of now, neither Elmwood/Brimfield nor Canton have any future games scheduled.
