The London Majors have signed left-hander Christian Coombes, a local arm who played for the junior St. Thomas Tomcats last year and recently completed his senior season at Division I Rider University.

Welland Jackfish right-hander Ben Abram (Georgetown, Ont.) and Brantford Red Sox infielder Gus Wilson have been named the Intercounty Baseball League’s Pitcher and Batter of the Week respectively.

The Okotoks Dawgs improved their record to 3-0 with a 17-3 win over the Sylvan Lake Gulls on Tuesday.

“Blue Jays fans gasped when they saw the famous home run jacket return last week when Bo Bichette hit a two-run home run in the 9-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.

It was the first time the jacket had been seen since the end of the 2022 season. Too much frivolity or so management and some fans thought. And the bosses were right when someone would go deep to cut the Jays deficit to 9-2 as everyone in the dugout was pranced and danced.

Yet, another jacket was on display in the GTA since opening day in Central Ontario Association play. The night after Bichette homered -- centre fielder Jayden (The Jet) Felipe-Abug hit an inside-the-park home run as the Mississauga North Tigers beat the Mississauga Southwest Twins 14-6 at Meadowvale Park. As Felipe-Abug slid into home plate the third base dugout reacted as if someone had hit a fire alarm.”
