He threw a complete seven innings while giving up just six hits and four runs, while striking out seven in the process.<br \/>\nThe teams met again on Friday to complete the season series, which Aurora swept with a 5 \u2013 2 victory. Thomas D\u2019Andrade improved his record to 2 \u2013 0 on the year working the mound.<br \/>\nThe Jays wrapped up the week on Sunday with a pair of road games in Lisle, first falling to the Clearview Orioles before earning the win over the Midland Indians.<br \/>\nThat brings their record to 14-4-0, good for fourth place in the NDBL standings, and into a tie with the plummeting Giants. The Clearview Orioles have attained the number one spot, holding onto a record of 15-4-1, three points up on the Jays though with two more games played.<br \/>\nAurora will get to enjoy a long awaited four-game home stand this week, opening against the Mansfield Cubs (6-15-1) on Thursday.<br \/>\nOpening pitch is set for 7.30 p.m.<br \/>\nFor stats, schedules, and more information, visit www.ndbl.ca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pair of wins over a powerhouse Orangeville squad has the AA Aurora Jays within reaching distance of top spot in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-sports","category-sports"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17770\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
