WC Electric eliminate Quyon with 10-6 win

WC Electric eliminated the Quyon Flyers from the GOFL playoffs with a 10-6 win in Quyon on Tuesday night.

Another nice sized crowd close to 100 gathered to watch Game 2 of the "Ferry Series", with folks from both sides of the river in attendance.

Jim Ryan had the win for WC with relief from Brad Porter, while Len Burger took the loss in relief of Joran Graham for the Flyers.

West Carleton scored in the top of the first when Trevor Barton singled, moved to third on a Troy Wilson single, then scored on a wild pitch.

The Electric also scored in the third when Jon Daley singled, stole second, and was brought in on a Michael Cavanagh RBI single.

Quyon tied the game at two in the bottom of the third when Luke Young reached on a walk and was brought in on a two-run home run by Joe McCleary.

Len Burger came in to relieve Quyon starter Joran Graham in the top of the fourth, and West Carleton Electric ended up batting nine men in the inning to go up 7-2. Neil Murphy led things off with a triple. After a ground out, Todd Clouthier walked, then stole second. Jon Daley hit a shallow flare to left that dropped in, scoring Murphy. Then next batter popped up, but then Troy Wilson came through with a clutch 2 RBI single. Michael Cavanagh then hit a single and stole second, putting runners at second and third. Shawn Rebertz then drove a ball to left, scoring two runs for the five run lead.

Jim Ryan pitched the fourth inning, then gave way to Brad Porter who struck out the side in the bottom of the fifth.

WC Eletric padded their lead to 10-2 in the top of the sixth. Jon Daley started the inning with a walk and was brought in on a Trevor Barton RBI triple. Barton scored when Troy Wilson grounded out. Mike Cavanagh then stroked a solo home run to dead centre for the 'Trics.

However, the always scarppy Flyers attemped to mount a comeback in the bottom of the sixth. Shawn Laframboise led things off with a solo home run. With one out, Nick Armitage hit a double, then Len Burger hit a single. A Jordan Kearns double scored two more to make the score 10-5.

After WC failed to score in the seventh, the season was on the line for the Flyers in the bottom of the seventh. Joe McCleary led off with a single. Then Shawn Laframboise came up with another key hit, this time a double to bring in Big Joe. However Porter settled in and got the final two outs on pop ups to end the Flyers' very successful first season in GOFL play.

WC Electric will await the results of the other first round series to determine their opponent in round 2.
