Kars 9 Stittsville 8 - game 1 details
Put together with info from Cory Morrison, John Craig and a little creative writing
Once again the Grove was home to a shootout as it has been many times this season, as the Kars Aces got out to a 1-0 series lead with a 9-8 win.
Steve Price had the start for Kars and was relieved by Brad Porter who earned the win. Darren Featherstone threw for Stittsville.
The Aces opened the scoring in the top of 1 as Brad Pender led of with a single then stole 2nd, stole 3rd on fake bunt, and come home on a Kevin Chevrier single.
In the second inning, Kurtis Summers hit a 2-run no doubter scoring Chad Costello who had walked to put the Kars lead to three. Later in the inning Chad Milne singled home Matt Alkerton who had reached on error to make the lead 4-0.
Stittville got back a run in the third to close the gap to three runs, but Kars extended the lead to 6-1 in the 5th as Steve Price was hit by a pitch and scored on a Cory Morrison double. Morrison later scored on a Kurtis Summer's single.
Brad Porter came in to relief Steve Price on the slab for Kars in the fifth. Stittsville promptly rallied for four runs taking advantage of some walks and triples by Dan Jessiman and Ben Giggliotti to close the gap to 6-5.
Kars responded in the sixth as Brad Pender led off a moon shot to left center. Then with two out Steve Price (who remained in the game to hit for Porter) walked and scored on a Morrison triple. Chad Costello then hit an rbi single to score Morrison and put Kars up 9-5.
The 56ers weren't about to give up though. They responded in the sixth with two runs. Both Dan Bradley and Dan Jessiman had doubles that just missed being homers in this inning.
After blanking Kars in the top of the final inning, Stittsville came close but could only muster one run. Adam Smith doubled to lead off, and after a pop up and a liner, Dan Jessiman hit another double for an RBI to make it 9-8. Porter induced a ground ball to end the game and end a wild night at the Grove.
Johnny Craig Wacky Stat of the Night (TM): a combined five players were hit by pitches in this game - none intenionally!
