Phillippe Aumont wasn't the only dominant pitcher on this day.
Aumont put up his three scoreless innings for Team Canada, then Mitch Hodge
and Evan Hildenbrandt also put up thre zeros each.
The problem was a lack of hits as the Team Canada National Junior tea,
battled the Minnesota Twins to a 0-0 tie. Both Canada and the Twins
rookie-class Dominican Summer League Twins team of first and second-year
pros managed 10 hits.
Aumont (Gatineau, Que.) allowed two hits, while striking out six. He's now
headed for pre-draft woork outs with clubs. Aumont was the apple of the
Colorado Rockies eye but he now could slip into the teens. The Rockies
select eighth over-all June 7.
Aumont didn't walk a man.
Hodge (Vancouver, BC) allowed two hits and withour one walk and he struck
out two.
Hildenbrandt (Abbotsford, BC) threw three innings, as he allowed up only two
hits with three walks and two strikeouts.
Brett Lawrie (Langley, BC) was 2-for-2 with a pair of singles. Michael
Mutcheson (Morden, Man.) singled and Marcus Knecht (Toronto, Ont.) added a
double.
