Duffy (9-11), who had thrown just one pitch in September before the start, held the Indians to six hits. The left-hander had been sidelined since Sept. 6 with a sore shoulder.

Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer in the eighth for Los Angeles, giving him 1,602 RBIs for 33rd on the career list.

APPENDICES Page 222 of 717171 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 On the back of a hugely successful World Cup in 2013 which demonstrated what potential could be re awakened if the optimum Rugby League product was available to West Cumbria this report was jointly commissioned by the Rugby Football League (RFL) in partnership with Workington Town and Whitehaven RLFC. 1.2 The objective of the review was to understand the existing rugby league infrastructure in West Cumbria and its growth potential against the context of local, regional and national factors. Critically the review was much more than a desk-top analysis and has sought the views and opinions of key stakeholders; administrators and management of the game; partners; and the fan base, on a qualitative and quantitative basis. 1.3 Data validity has been important to this review and was therefore the backdrop to question design and a broad respondent base. 2 x online surveys; 1 x paper survey; face to face and telephone interviews were tested as appropriate against desk top data. Data validity will ensure that this review provides a strong platform from which to move forward without assumption.

We are truly blessed with some wonderful volunteers and players in Wales, and by working together we will become stronger. Amongst an array of activity that will be touched upon in this Annual Report, some of the main highlights for me personally were Wales Wheelchair lifting the Celtic Cup, Wales U16s beating Catalan Dragons, Wales men qualifying in Italy for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup in Australia, Wales Dragonhearts touring Germany and launching the WRL Hall of Fame. Inducting two all-time greats Billy Boston and Gus Risman as inaugural inductees into the WRL Hall of Fame was a privilege. Our fantastic heritage is something we have to use to ensure a brighter and more high profile future for the sport in Wales. Who should we induct next from our plethora of stars? We thank our main strategic partners Sport Wales and the Rugby Football League, who continue to believe in our operation and where it wishes to go, by making the required investment. This is absolutely imperative to our success. My Club Betting and Raging Bull, our main two commercial partners, have now invested more into Wales Rugby League than any other commercial sponsors in our history.
