Stittsville evens series with Kars - details added

txt update from Chevy, info from Johnny Craig

The Stittsville 56ers evened their best of five GOFL series with Kars Aces on Tuesday night with a 11-3 win in North Gower.

Darren Featherstone had the win while Brad Porter took the loss. The game also featured a rarely seen triple play by the 56ers.

The 56ers scored in the top of the first. Scott Herriot reached first on a fielder's choice, and scored on Dan Jessiman's double to put the 56ers up 1-0.

Kars evened the score when Brad Pender hit a lead off single, stole 2nd, reached 3rd on a fielder's choice and scored on Chad Milne's single, 1-1.

Ben Gigglioti walked to lead off the top of the second. After two K's, Tyler Nystedt beat out a dribbler to third and Gigglioti, who had made it over to third previously scored on the play to make the score 2-1 for Stittsville.

In the top of the third back to back singles by John Craig and Scott Herriot followed by a double by Dan Jessiman cashed one run, followed by a three run bomb for Scott Parsons made the tally 6-1 for the 56ers.

Scott Parsons drove in another run in the fifth scoring Scott Jessiman to make it 7-1.

In the bottom of the 5th, Featherstone walked Matt Alkerton and Shawn Forbes to start the inning. Kevin Chevrier hit a line drive to shallow centre and runners were on the move - however Dan Jessiman caught it. He subsequently threw to Scott Herriott at second to easily double off Alkerton followed by a quick flip to Scott Parsons at first for a rarely seen triple play. There was some heated debate about whether the third out at first was in time, but the call stood for the first triple play in modern history of the 56ers.

In the top of the sixth, Stittsville pushed the lead to 11-1. There were three sequential singles by Featherston, Craig and Herriot to set the table for a grand slam by Dan Jessiman.

Kars threatened in the bottom of 6 after a walk to Brad Pender, Danny Powers hit a two run homer to get the Aces within eight runs, but the 56ers got the three outs they needed to end the game 11-3.
