Three weeks between league games did not cool off the 91Ô­´´ Junior Blaze.

A doubleheader sweep over the Victoria Junior Eagles (5-19) stretched 91Ô­´´'s winning streak to nine games in the B.C. Junior U16 Premier Baseball League.

The Blaze lead the league with a 22-5 record.

Hosting the Eagles on Sunday at McLeod Park, 91Ô­´´ won 8-3 and 12-0.

In the opener, Grahame Bailey allowed just two hits over six and a third innings.

The offence was fueled by Justin Lawrence and Andre Pelletier who both drove in a pair of runs.

Colin McMaster, Liam Goodfrey and Shayne Clark had one RBI apiece.

The teams were tied at two after one inning, but 91Ô­´´ took the lead for good in the fourth with a single run. They sealed the game with a five-run fifth inning.

The second game was another two hitter as this time Kyle Ross was masterful on the mound.

The Blaze scored 12 runs — six of them unearned — with six players driving in one run apiece.

McMaster, Clarke, Pelletier, Eric Broatch, Steven Young and Matthew Whieldon all drove in a run.

91Ô­´´ also scored runs in four of the five innings, including eight runs in the fifth inning.

Next up for the Blaze is the Abbotsford Junior Cardinals (15-9) on June 26 at McLeod Park.
