Duncan Renegades are the champions of Greater Victoria Midget AA baseball. And they won it in convincing fashion.
Renegades started on their way by topping the round robin and then laid a 15-2 beating on Layritz in the semifinals on the mercy rule.
The final game was against the Carnarvon Giants and the mercy rule went into effect again, with the Renegades winning 10-0 in five innings.
Jordy Frost came within one batter of pitching a perfect game. The only hit against him by Glen Harrison came in the second inning.
Frost struck out eight and did not issue a walk. He actually faced the minimum 15 batters for the five-inning game, picking off Harrison from first base on a lead-off.
Catcher Alex Boos did a great job calling the pitches for Frost.
The defence scooped up everything else, with Aaron Frost making three outs, Cameron Frame two and pitcher Frost another one besides his strikeouts.
The Renegades were held scoreless in the first inning, but got it going in the second when Reiya Tomida reached first base on an error and came home on a single by Jake Heerwagen. Keygan Hankins walked and came home on a failed pickoff attempt.
In the third inning, Sam Cross and Carlito Livingstone walked, Cameron Frame hit a triple to bring them both home and, with two out, more production came after Adam Sakuma's walk and a single by Aaron Frost.
The fourth inning opened with a walk to Blair Robertson, Heerwagen reached base on an error and then Justis Doucet and Ben Slang hit back-to-back singles.
The Renegades were retired in order in the fifth inning. But they already had their 10 runs and when Frost also sent Carnarvon down in order, the game was over.
