Easton takes game 1 - Chevy gets the victory
from Tony Riches
Easton made the most of 7 hits and 3 Manotick errors and Kevin Chevrier scattered 11 hits in a 5-4 win in Stittsville last night.
Chevrier, making a surprise start, kept the Manotick batters off balance and used Easton`s solid defence in picking up the win. Trevor Lahey had a good outing, the victim of not only his defence but some timely hitting by the Easton squad, who made the most of their 7 hits.
Manotick opened the scoring in the second with Lahey and Joe Allan each driving in a run with singles, but Chevrier escaped further damage by leaving runners at second and third. Easton evened the score in the bottom of the third by taking advantage of a walk, a dropped third strike and subsequent throwing error that allowed the first run to score, and then a clutch 2-out RBI single by Randy Peck. Easton took the lead in the fourth when a leadoff walk eventually came around to score on a single by Lukas Kamps. They expanded their lead to 5-2 in the sixth on a couple of Manotick errors, including one by someone playing their last ever game in the outfield, and another 2-out RBI single by Dave Tubman.
The Printers made a last inning charge to push across 2 runs on an infield hit by Steve Edgerton and an RBI groundout by Trevor Power but Chevrier again closed the door with the tying run on base.

Konkle was out of town, and Kyle Olson was unavailable, so Chevrier pitched the complete game.
Manotick committed some costly errors that helped Easton score runs.
Easton only had 9 players and Manotick had 10.
