Webster's home run helps Langley Blaze pound Angels
Brooklyn Foster drove in three runs, Scott Webster belted a two-run blast and Jesse Peters struck out seven over six innings as the Langley Senior Blaze stretched their lead atop the Pacific International League standings.
The senior men's baseball team — made up of Fraser Valley players home for the summer from their college and university teams — improved to 8-1 with their third straight victory.
The Blaze were hosting the Coquitlam Angels at McLeod Park.
Langley led 1-0 after two innings but broke the game open in the bottom of the third inning with a two-run single from Foster and then the two-run home run from Webster.
That offence was more than enough for Peters, who allowed just the one run.
Ryan Eiswerth pitched the seventh inning.
Lead-off hitter Mike Krische also had a solid game going 3-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored and a RBI.
