TEAM FIRST - COLTS PUT UP IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS

It's a time-honored basball axiom: pitching and defense wins ball games. Never was that axiom more apparent than with the 2009 Canada Colts. The pitching staff's collective 3.50 team ERA ranks them 9th in the State. The Colts led the league in saves (11), runners picked off (12), fewest earned runs allowed (140), fewest wild pitches (4), and fewest balks (3).

And not to be forgotten in all of the final numbers is the fact that the 2009 Colts can flat out pick it. Their .964 fielding percentage was second in the league.

Offensively, the Colts had a .319 team batting average - second only to Ohlone's .328 average. The Colts also banged out 33 home runs, 288 RBI, had a .474 slugging percentage, a .400 on-base percentage, 679 total bases and 106 stolen bases - all second in the league to Northern California's #1 ranked team, Ohlone.
