Trend Arlington finals set
from Wynn Fenwick
Monday night saw number four seed Lone Star Texas Grill down one-game-to-zero to Ed Taylor’s Shamrocks in game two of the best-of-three Trend Arlington Men’s Fastball League semifinal at 50 Bellman Drive Ottawa.
Despite an ominious start, Darryl James was three for four and winning pitcher Elton Cryderman helped his own cause with two RBI as the Shamrocks eliminated Lone Star 7-4 to advance to the Trend Arlington Men’s Fastball League Championship Finals.
James led off the game with a double to left but was cut down at the plate when Bobby Deleavy’s deep fly to centre was dropped, but picked up and gunned by Lone Star shortstop Derek Kitchen’s relay to Craig Casey held on at the plate for the out. Deleavy later scored when Jeff Wardrop reached base on error.
Lone Star starter Chris Kingsbury stranded seven runners in first 4 innings, allowing them to draw even in the fourth inning thanks to back-to-back RBI singles by Derek Kitchen and Troy Mulvey that scored first baseman Marty Young and cleanup hitter Martin Delorme.
Cryderman scattered 6 hits over 5 innings of work for Taylors, and his two-run single was part of a maxed-out 5-run fifth inning that put Taylor’s up 7-2. Ivan Taylor came on to give up a single run in each of the 6th and 7th as Jack Gellner backstopped both hurlers. Kingsbury and Casey went the distance for Lone Star.
Lone Star outhit the Shamrocks, but Taylor’s contact and patience at the plate overwhelmed Kingsbury and the Lone Star defense with 22 baserunners.
The TAMFL finals are now set with Taylor Shamrocks hosting Goodfellow’s Cleaners for game one, Wednesday September 24, 7:00pm. Game two takes place Monday 28 September and if necessary game three will be 30 September. All games at Trend Arlington Field, 50 Bellman Drive, Ottawa, ON off Greenbank near Hunt Club.
