The Trail Orioles swiped a pair of games from the Vernon ANAF Diamondbacks in senior men's inter-league baseball play Saturday at Marshall Field.  The Orioles opened with a 9-2 win and followed that with a 6-1 decision.

In the opener, the Orioles jumped all over a trio of Vernon errors in the first inning to take a 4-0 lead. The Diamondbacks got a run back in the second as Steve Daamen singled with one out, then scored on a bases-loaded single by Tyler Amiel.  The Orioles, who will host the 2010 B.C. Senior Men's Baseball Championships, responded in the fifth with three more runs, before the D-backs got another run back. Amiel was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Kyle Anderson, before Josh Wade (2-for-3) drove him in.  Trail pitcher Kellen Jones (Vernon Viper grad) shut the Diamondbacks down after that, tossing a complete game four-hitter.  Geoff Cleavely ripped a line shot into left field to complete the D-backs' offence.

Game 2 saw Trail score three times in the first inning. D-backs' starter John McInnis settled down and put up a couple zeroes until the fifth, where Anderson inherited a first-and-second situation. Anderson struggled with his command, walking five in one-and-a-third innings, somehow managing to only give up two runs.  The only run the D-backs scored came on a wild pitch. Daamen, Wade, Amiel, Anderson and Bryce Whitehouse all had singles.
