The reigning champs of the North Dufferin Baseball League are proving once again to be a force to be reckoned with.

Some early-inning production put the Bolton Brewers up early on the road over the Alliston Athletics in their first game of the AA season, staring down pitcher after pitcher in an eventual 16 – 3 victory.

Veteran ace Trent Barwick earned the win, putting up a long start after leading the Brewers in wins in the 2017 season.

The win follows a postponement of the Brewers’ home opener on Saturday, set for another date with the Clearview Orioles after field conditions were still too poor thanks to the late spring.

Bolton opens a four-game homestand on Friday, hosting the Aurora Jays at Ted Houston Park, their first meeting since the Brewers eliminated the Jays in the NDBL semifinals last season.

The schedules continues with the Orioles, Orangeville Giants, and another meeting with the Athletics, all visiting Bolton before the end of May.

Their hometown counterpart, the Bolton Dodgers, opened at home on Wednesday night against the Athletics following press time.

They visit the Ivy Rangers on Saturday in their only other action of the week.
