Stittsville takes game 1 over Orleans
from Sam Oliver
The Stittsville 56ers won decisively 9 - 2 over the Orleans Gators to take a 1 game lead in the best of three playoff series. Dan Bradley pitched the win for the 56ers allowing 2 earned runs on 4 hits, walking two and striking out 18. Nick Bowman pitched the complete game loss for the Gators allowing 9 runs (8 earned) on 12 hits, allowing 3 walks with no strikeouts.
Stittsville took the lead in the bottom half of the first. Ryan Bond walked to lead the attack and scored on a Dan Jessiman triple. A Darren Featherstone sacrifice fly plated Jessiman and gave the 56ers a two run lead.
The bottom half of the 2nd saw Tim Power lead off with a double off the centerfield fence. A Scott Jessiman walk put runners on first and second with no one out. However, Bowman was able to get Darren Ladouceur to ground out to third for a tailor made double play. But with two out Rob Rattray stroked a clutch single to score Jessiman from second, increasing the lead to 3.
The 56ers would add another run in the bottom half of the third. John Craig started things with a sharply hit single to left field. He would score all the way from first on a Darren Featherstone double.
Orleans would get a run back in their half of the fourth. Jay Adams started the inning with a tomahawked triple into the right-centerfield gap. Matt Alkerton walked to put runners on the corners. A clutch single from Kurtis Summers scored Adams from third, putting two men on with no one out. However, Bradley was able to escape the jam by striking out the next three Orleans' batters.
Stittsville scored 4 in the bottom of the 5th to open up a 7 run lead. With one out, Dan Jessiman and Darren Featherstone both singled. Sam Oliver then swatted a home run over the right-centerfield fence to score three. Tim Power followed that with a single, advanced to second when Scott Jessiman walked, and scored on a double by Darren Ladoucuer.
The top half of the 6th saw Matt Alkerton hit a towering homerun to left field, but that would be all of the offense that Orleans could muster.
The 56ers capped the scoring at 9 - 2 in the bottom half of the 6th. Once again, John Craig singled to lead things off. Dan Jessiman hit a fly ball to left field that was misplayed allowing Craig to advance. He subsequently scored on a sacrifice fly from Oliver.
