A rematch this Sunday afternoon will give the Dundas Chiefs of the Central Ontario Baseball Association a chance to avenge their opening day loss to the powerhouse Etobicoke Chiefs.

Former McMaster Marauder pitcher Brian Molloy will get the call next Sunday at 1 p.m. at Veteran's Field on King Street East in Dundas

Last Sunday, the home-town team suffered a frustrating 10-1 loss to last season's league champions. None of the six Dundas pitchers could master the visitors.

A few defensive miscues cost the young Chiefs at several important points in the game. Etobicoke made the most of their opportunities, but Dundas missed the few chances they had.

Despite loading the bases while down just three runs with plenty of time left to play, the Chief's were unable to cash in a single run.

Final inning

It took the local squad until the final inning to pick up their single run in the 10-1 loss.

It was a rough start to a season of hope for the upstart Chiefs.

After finishing in the middle of the pack with a 14 win and 12 loss record last season, the Chiefs have added a few more players in hopes of increasing their competitiveness in Ontario's top amateur baseball league.

Players 21-years of age and older play in the league. Many also play for Canadian universities or American colleges.

The team has a celebrated 92-year history. A local baseball team won a Canadian championship in 1890, featuring Charles (Chubb) Collins, one of three Dundas natives to play Major League Baseball.

This year's team features several current or former McMaster baseball players, as well as representatives of the University of Waterloo and Brock.

Dundas minor baseball alumni on the Chiefs includes outfielder Jamie Crickmore, pitcher Jason Drysdale, outfielders Matthew John and Jon Mackenzie and infielder David Morlog.
