The Milton Senior Red Sox kicked off their Central Ontario Baseball Association (COBA) title defence on a high note Wednesday night -- downing the Etobicoke Rangers 14-6 at Ninth Line Park.

Finishing 14-11 in regular-season play -- despite a number of key player losses this summer -- the Red Sox delivered an error-free game and got offensive contributions from up and down the lineup.

Dave Strutt went 4-for-4 with two RBI and a returning Joe Jurus drove in three runs on a double and single.

Kurt Mitchell continued to shine at the plate, collecting four RBI on a pair of hits, while Taylor Lawton drove in two runs on three singles and junior call-up Sean Mathé came through with two hits and an RBI.

Carlos D'Costa, Curt Davies and Nick Mazzorato rounded out a 17-hit attack.

Earning the victory with a steady six-inning effort was Tyler Wilson. Mike Grabauskas turned in a three-up, three-down ninth to quickly squash any lingering comeback hopes.

Milton continued the double-knockout playdowns last night against the offensively-formidable Oakville As.

The tournament runs through until Sunday, with some games tentatively scheduled at Brian Best Park Saturday.
