UPDATE - Story from Tony Riches

Easton closed out it`s first round series with a 1-0 victory in Manotick Wednesday night. As was the case the night before, Easton`s ability to come up with key 2-out hits and Manotick`s missed opportunties were the story as this series ended two games to none. Dan Konkle outduelled Jason Smith for the victory, allowing only 3 hits and striking out 15. Todd Fraser drove in Kevin Chevrier with a 2-out single in the third inning to account for the game`s only score. Manotick got runners to third base with no outs twice and one out once but were unable to push a run across as Konkle came up with key strikeouts and outfielder Lukas Kamps made an excellent diving catch of a Calvin Medynski line drive to end a threat.
