Red Sox Homestand Kicks Off 2nd Half

In any other year, the Intercounty Baseball League would be knee deep in the playoffs at this point in the calendar. However due to the COVID-19 pandemic the 2021 season is unlike any other, and the Brantford Red Sox have just wrapped up the first 15 games of their 30 game regular season.  

Brantford currently sits in 7th place in the IBL standings with a 4-11 record. However the team's record does not tell the whole story, as they only sit a few wins behind most of the league. Also, reinforcements are arriving this week with loosened border restrictions in bringing in import players.  

First Half Stats Leaders:

• Batting Average - Gianfranco Morello .339, Colton Fountain .333
• Hits - Gianfranco Morello 19, Colton Fountain 17
• Walks - Nick Burdett, Liam Sutherland 7
• RBI - Gianfranco Morello 8
• Slugging % - Gianfranco Morello .464, Colton Fountain .373
