The Astros gave themselves an early cushion by scoring four runs in the top of the first inning. That cushion had almost disappeared as the Pride fought back and cut the Astros’ lead to 5-4 after the third inning.

But the Pride didn’t score a run once Astros pitcher Cameron LeBlanc took the mound late in the third inning. LeBlanc only surrendered one hit and struck out five in the 4.1 innings he pitched.

Talon Thomas, who started the game on the mound for the Astros, gave up four earned runs in 2.2 innings. He made up for it by hitting a two-run home run in the fifth inning to give the Astros a 7-4 lead. Thomas was the most productive Astros hitter, getting two hits, batting in three runs and scoring twice.

Centre fielder Calvin Napope went 3-3 from the plate and scored three runs and batting one run in.

After dropping their opener 10-0 to Chepstow Lang Farms from Ontario on Wednesday, they have now won two in a row. The mini win streak started Wednesday evening when the Astros beat the Pimicikamak Thunder from Manitoba 5-2.
