West Carleton Electric goes 1-2 at Elkland Labour Day tournament
West Carleton Electric ventured down to Elkland, PA for the Durk Sherman Labour Day tournament for the fourth year in a row and finished with a 1-2 record.
WC Electric 13 Allentown, PA Industrial 7
First game of the tournament was Saturday morning at noon against PA Industrial from Allentown. The Electric came back twice to take the game by a score of 13-7. PA Industrial touched up starter Bud Hanlon for 4 runs in two innings, before WC Electric came back with four runs of their own to tie the game. With reliever Jeff Barber into throw, the PA team scored three more runs to take another lead. However, the Electric's bats woke up and they scored 9 unanswered runs for the win. Barber had the win in relief. Tourney pick up Drew Hathway had a three run homer for WC, while Trevor Barton was 3 for 3 with a walk. Tourney rookie Shawn Ryan had a triple in his Elkland debut at bat.
Harrisburg, PA Hoffman Power 7 WC Electric 0
Game two on Saturday evening was less successful for the Electric as they fell 7-0 to PA Power, who recently finished sixth at the ISC World Tournament. Former USA national team member Bill Hillhouse had the win for the Power, while Hathway took the loss. The Electric made some errors in this one to give away three runs and only managed four hits against the veteran Hillhouse. Shawn Rebertz, in a WC uniform for the first time in two years, had two hits in a losing cause.
Elkland, PA Thunderbellys 3 WC Electric 2
The loss meant a "rest" until 4pm on Sunday when the Electric faced the host Thunderbellys for the second year in a row. And for the second year in a row, it was an excellent game with the local team coming out on top in front of a good crowd. Former New Zealand and USA national team member Paul Algar earned the complete game win, while Hathway pitched very well in taking the loss. Elkland scored the first run in the third after a triple that just tipped off the glove of the WC left fielder, followed by a squeeze bunt. The Electric tied things in the sixth after Hathway walked and was driven in by a Beef Johnson triple. In the top of the seventh, the Bellys pushed two across the plate on three hits. The bottom of the inning saw Fitzroy respond with one run after Neil Murphy tripled and scored on Jeff Cavanagh's pinch hit sacrifice fly, but that was all WC could manage as Algar shut the door for the remainder of the seventh.
