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.

For Manotick;

Bickell 2-4 (both hits combined travelled less than 20 feet), R
Mike Branchaud 2-4
Allan 2-4, RBI, R

Lahey 6IP 7H 1ER 2BB 5K

For Easton;

Kamps 1-3, RBI, R

Chevrier 7IP 11H 4ER 1BB 3K

Game 2 of the series will be played tonight in Manotick at 8:30PM.

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.
