Stittsville defeated WC Electric 5-0 to take a two game to none lead in the best-of-five GOFL semi-final series in game 2 on Tuesday night.

 

A nice crowd was on hand in Fitzroy Harbour to watch the game, which was played in beautiful late summer conditions.

 

Dan Bradley had yet another complete game win for the 56ers, scattering six hits for the shutout and once again showing excellent control by walking none and striking out fourteen. 

 

With Bud Hanlon on the bench due to a shoulder injury, Brad Porter went the distance for the home team and pitched well, allowing three earned runs on five hits, three walks and nine strikeouts.

 

Stittsville opened the scoring with a Mike Barrett solo homerun in the top of the third.

 

After a single by Michael Cavanagh, his second of the game, and an infield single by Jon Daley, WC Electric threatened with base runners on second and third with one out in the bottom of the third, but could not get the run across.

 

With the score a tight 1-0 margin after five complete, a series of three consecutive errors by WC Electric in the sixth resulted in two more Stittsville runs.  John Craig and Scott Herriott both reached on errors, and a misplayed fly ball off the bat of Dan Jessiman resulted in two runs scoring.

 

Stittsville finished the scoring with two more runs in the seventh.  Darren Ladouceur led off the inning wit a walk, was sacrificed to second by Rob Rattray and brought in on an RBI double by Craig.  Craig subsequently scored on an RBI single by Scott Herriott.

 

Neil Murphy and Todd Clouthier had doubles for the home team.  Troy Wilson also had a single to lead off the sixth inning, but Bradley struck out the next six batters he faced to seal the victory.  WC Electric had the lead off batter reach safely in three innings (first, second, sixth) but failed to get the run across.

Game three is Wednesday September 6 in Stittsville at 8:30PM.
