Blitz advance to Final Weekend Showdown
The Ottawa Blitz advanced to the final weekend showdown tournament by clinching their Greater Ottawa Fastball League playoff series against West Carleton Electric with a 9-1 win on Monday night in Fitzroy Harbour. The Blitz took the series 3 games to 1.
Shannon Borho had the win while Steve Cavanagh took the loss.
The Blitz scored their runs in bunches, with three in the second, three in the fourth and three in the seventh.
Jon Ferguson lead off the second with a single, followed by an infield single for Shannon Borho. They both advanced on a wild pitch, then after a strikeout Ferguson scored on an Andrew Bruce single. Bruce stole second and following a ground out, Russ Mitchell's RBI double scored two runs to put the Blitz up 3-0.
In the fourth, a walk by Andrew Bruce and a bunt single by Ron Hrcyak put runners on first and third. Hrcyak was out at second on a fielder's choice for Russ Mitchell. When what looked like an inning ending double play ground ball was misplayed, Bruce scored. Back to back RBI singles by Ryan Mitts and Derick Bulley made it 6-0.
WC Electric threatened in the bottom of the sixth. With two out, Neil Murphy and Derek Barber reached on back to back errors. An RBI single by Dave Bahm put WC on the board. Steve Cavanagh walked to load the bases, but a ground out to first ended the inning.
The Blitzos put the game out of reach in the seventh. With one out, Jon Ferguson singled, Shannon Borho singled and Jamie Blakely's ground rule double scored one. After a ground out, Ron Hrycak walked to load the bases and two more runs scored on Russ Mitchell's single.
