The Sudbury 18U Voyageurs were fine with the bookends of their four-game weekend set with the Etobicoke Rangers earlier this month.

The in-between games at the Terry Fox Sports Complex - not so much.

With pitchers Will Burns and A.J. Dubeau providing six scoreless innings on the mound, the Voyageurs opened at home with a 7-4 win, up 5-0 after three innings and adding a couple of insurance runs later on.

Ethan Thompson (3 hits; 3 runs) and Brett Rienguette (3 hits; 2 runs; 2 RBIs) were monsters at the plate, with King Mong and Colton Nowoselsky also driving in two runs each.

The offense continued to look good later in the afternoon, in spite of a 10-8 loss to even the series. Brett Rienguette homered and drove in four while Chris Kremastiotis was the shining light in the hurling department, tossing three innings of scoreless two-hit ball after the Etobicoke damage had been delivered.

It would be tough to find a whole lot of positives in a Sunday morning 16-0 shellacking the Voyageurs suffered - beyond the fact that the team rebounded nicely to take the afternoon finale by a final score of 13-7.

Eight of the nine Sudbury batters score at least one run as the homeside registered 11 hits and drew nine base on balls. Kudos were well spread, with Brett Rienguette (2/4 - 2 runs; 5 RBI), Braiden Paul (2/3 + walk; 2 runs; 2 RBI), Evan Ouimet (3/4 with two runs) and leading hitter Chris St Germain (3 walks) among the large group of Voyageurs which enjoyed a productive outing.

Evan Ouimet picked up the win on the mound, battling through five innings with six strikeouts as the locals overcame a 4-0 deficit by scoring eight in the fourth inning. Chris Kremastiotis held the fort late, pitching two innings, allowing two hits and two runs but fanning four Rangers along the way and walking just one.
