Aces walk-off Chiefs to take 2-0 series lead

The Alvinston Aces are a win away from the league finals after a dramatic walk-off win Thursday night.

The Aces were trailing Chippewa 6-4 in the last inning, but a bases clearing single off the bat of Joe Triest gave Alvinston the 7-6 win.

The Aces now lead the best-of-five series 2-0, and can sweep the Chiefs in the second round matchup on Tuesday night.

Alvinston is a perfect 5-0 so far in the 2018 South Middlesex Men's Fastball League playoffs.
