Stittsville 9 Manotick 3 UPDATED

Stittsville defeated Manotick 9-3 in the early game in Stittsville on Tuesday night.

Darren Featherstone had the win and threw the first four innings. Dan Bradley closed out for Stittsville and had the save.
Tony Riches took the loss, leaving in the fifth - Jeff Hyndman finished up for Lomor.

Trevor Power hit a homer for Manotick, and Dan Bradley had a homer for the 56ers.

The story from Sam Oliver:

The Stittsville 56ers downed the Manotick Lomor Printers by score of 9-3 on Tuesday night. The 56ers scored 5 runs (1 earned) in the first inning and never looked back from there. A two out, two RBI double off the bat of Scott Herriot was the key hit in the Stittsville attack which was greatly aided by a couple of Manotick errors. Stittsville score two more in both the fifth and sixth innings, highlighted by a Dan Bradley two run homerun. 56er third baseman, John Craig had three hits in 4 trips to the plate, and was just a HR shy of hitting for the cycle.

Despite being down early, the Manotick side showed great resolve. A Trevor Power two run blast in the third inning put the Printers on the board cutting the 56er lead to three. In the top half of the fourth, Donny Cox led off with a triple and scored on a Tim Hodgins single. Stittsville hurler, Darren Featherstone, looked to be in trouble when Lindsey Medinski singled to put runners on the corners for Manotick with no one out. Featherstone struck out the next three batters to eliminate the threat.

Dan Bradley took to the rubber for Stittsville in the 5th working with a 5-3 lead. Manotick batter, Calvin Medinski (3 for 3 on the night) greeted him with a line drive triple that eluded the diving 56er centerfielder. Medinski tried for the inside the park homerun, but was gunned down by a great relay from Stittsville shortstop Herriot. Bradley settled in after that, retiring the next 8 batters in order to collect the save.

Featherstone earned his second win in as many outings, allowing three runs on seven hits and striking out seven over 4 innings. Tony Riches takes the loss for Manotick, pitching 4 1/3, giving up 7 runs (3 earned) on 9 hits while striking out 3. Jeff Hyndman made his GOFL pitching debut in relief of Riches. Hyndman closed out the game pitching the final 1 2/3 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits.

... 4 unearned runs on 2 errors int he first. 2 balls that could have been caught, but dropped in with no one around ... not really hits, but not really errors either ...

Why would teams have played the seventh if Stittsville was up by six after six?

mercy rule is optional - only if both teams agree

teams can agree to play all seven no matter what the score
