Carp evens series with Barrhaven - UPDATED
from Eric Rosenquist
Carp I4C Victory evened their playoff series against the Barrhaven Broadway Blues at 1 game a piece with a 6-1 victory in Carp on Wednesday night.
Neil Cooke went the distance for Carp for the win, scattering 5 hits, 1 walk, and 2 hit-batsmen over 7 innings.
Trevor Lahey took the loss for Barrhaven, giving up 5 runs in 2⅓ innings on 5 hits and 2 strikeouts. Paul Ceppi pitched 3⅔ innings of relief, giving up just one earned run on 2 hits and striking out 7.
Carp opened up the scoring in the bottom of the second when Bobby-Jack Hart hit a one-out double and then took 3rd on a passed ball. Brooks Paziuk followed Hart with a walk, and pinch runner Neil Drummond promptly stole 2nd base. Lahey got the next batter to ground out to third, holding the runners, but Carp's number 9 hitter Neil Cooke hit the first pitch he saw to left field to drive in both runners.
Barrhaven threatened in the top of the third, getting a leadoff single by Lyndsey Medynski to 3rd via a sac bunt and a passed ball, but Cooke stranded him there with a strikeout and a 6-3 ground-out.
Carp extended their lead in the bottom of the third with three runs to make it 5-0. Kevin McGuire hit a one-out single, then stole second and took third on a passed ball. Tony MacDonald followed that with a walk, then gave way to pinch runner Eric Rosenquist who took second uncontested. Al Read hit an 0-1 pitch to the fence in left centre for a triple, cashing in McGuire and Rosenquist. That was it for Lahey, who turned the Barrhaven pitching duties over to Ceppi with one out and Read on third. Ceppi gave up an RBI single to Bobby-Jack Hart, but then K'd the next two Carp batters to end the threat and strand Read at third.
Barrhaven got on the board in the 4th when Chad Hargrove reached with 2 out as a hit batsman. Hargrove took second on a wild pitch and then came in to score on a Trevor Power double. Power took third on a wild pitch but was stranded when Cooke induced a fly ball to shortstop Kevin McGuire to end the inning.
Carp added some insurance in their half of the 4th when Cooke walked, took second on a wild pitch, and then came home on McGuire's two-out triple.
Trailing 6-1 in the top of the 7th, Barrhaven would not go quietly. Trevor Power and Steve Edgerton started the inning with singles, then after a fielder's choice that erased Edgerton, Jordan Adams walked to load the bases with one out. Calvin Medynski pinch hit for pitcher Paul Ceppi and fouled off a number of pitches before Cooke was able to retire him via a strikeout. Cooke then managed to end the game by getting the next batter to hit a ground ball to second for a routine 4-3 put-out.
The next two games in the series are scheduled for Wednesday Aug 24th at 9PM in Manotick and Thursday Aug 25th at 8:30PM in Carp.
