**************************************************************
Pitching and
defence were showcased in this entertaining and well played ball game.
Stittsville got out to an early lead scoring one run in the first. A run that turned out to be the game winner.
56ers SS, Scott Herriot lead off the game with a single to left field and DP Greg McMillan followed with a walk. Catcher, Sam Oliver, hit a sharp ground ball up the middle that was fielded by Easton short stop Darryl Warren. Unfortunately for Easton, what appeared to be a sure double play ball turned into the only run of the ball game. After collecting the force out at second, Warren's relay to first was errant and found the dugout advancing Herriot to home and Oliver to second.
An apparently ailing Dan Konkle escaped the first without further damage. Stittsville threatened again in the second putting runners on first and second with one out, but once again Konkle was able to shut the door. However, he wasn't able to continue, and was relieved in the third inning by Bill Gerber who was brilliant in relief, not allowing a run while only giving up two hits.
For the 56ers, Dan Bradley pitched an excellent ball game. He gave up only two hits and didn't allow a runner past second base for the entire seven innings.
Easton's biggest threat came in the 3rd inning. Dan Konkle lead off the inning with a double to the left-centerfield gap. Al Reid followed with a flare to right that looked like it might find the grass, however, 56er RF Darren Ladouceur came up with the running shoe string catch for the first out. Bradley then responded with a key strike out of the dangerous hitting Easton CF Dave Tubman, and induced an inning ending fly ball from the hot hitting Easton captain Kevin Chevrier.
Game 3 of the series has been tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, September 14, with a 9:00PM start. There is a possibility that the game could be moved to Thursday, September 15, to facilitate an earlier (7:30PM) start time. All games for the series will be played at the Alexander Grove ball diamond in Stittsville. ************************************************************
