WC Electric 6 Orleans Gators 3 - WITH DEETS

In the second half of the doubleheader in Fitzroy Harbour on Tuesday night, the home team West Carleton Electric defeated Orleans 6-3.

Brad Porter had the complete game win for WC Electric while Nick Bowman took the loss.

Joel Langford hit the first pitch of the game for a homer for Orleans. Matt Bowman and Chad Hargove both singled in the inning but were stranded.

WC Electric got a run back in the bottom of the first. A walk to Jon Daley, a single by Trevor Barton and a walk to Michael Cavanagh loaded the bases with none out. Shawn Rebertz hit a sac fly to centre to score Daley, but Bowman struck out the next two batters to keep the game at 1-1.

Orleans scored another run in the third. Jordan Adams led off with a double, was moved on a sac bunt by Derek Barber the brought in on a single by Matt Bowman. Bowman's hit was misplayed and he made it to third, but he was left there.

In their half of the third, Fitzroy scored two to make it 3-2. Trevor Barton singled and took third on two subsequent passed balls. Michael Cavanagh walked to put runners on the corners. When Cavanagh took off for second on a steal, Orleans made the throw, but cut it and caught Barton off third base for the first out. Two more walks to Shawn Rebertz and Beef Johnson loaded the bases. Steve Cavanagh hit a grounder to short but the throw to the plate was errant and both Mike Cavanagh and Rebertz scored. Bowman induced a ground ball 4-3 double play to end the inning.

Orleans tied things at 3 in the fourth. Nick Bowman singled. Then with two out and the hit and run on, Joel Langford lined one to left that was misplayed, scoring Bowman.

WC Electric threatened in the fourth. Troy Wilson reached on an error. Jason Armstrong was then hit by a pitch. Both runners advanced 60 feet on a wild pitch. Then after a strike out, Orleans made their second double play of the night, a 4-3-2 play the saw Wilson get thrown out at the plate.

After giving up seven hits in the first four innings, Porter settled in and only allowed two hits and no runs over the final three innings.

West Carleton scored one in the fifth and two in the sixth to seal the win. In the fifth Shawn Rebertz singled and made it to third on two wild pitches. A long sac fly to deep left centre by Jason Cope scored Rebertz - Derek Barber (corrected) made a tremendous catch for the out on this play.

The two runs in the sixth were scored on a Michael Cavanagh two RBI single that scored Troy Wilson and Jason Armstrong who had reached on a double and a single respectively.
