Sam Jones worked his way on with a nice hit to left field followed by a hit by Jayden Burga to centre field. Josh Wiens drove in Jayden Burga for the tying run with an RBI to left field. Sam Brittain scored the winning run stealing home after a dropped ball by the Chilliwack catcher. Jack Weinkauf was Abbotsford’s MVP of the game for his strong pitching striking out 5 out of the 6 batters in the 5thand 6th innings. Abbotsford’s next game is tonight against Kelowna.
