Blitz even series with Quyon - game story

from Shawn Laframboise

Ottawa Taylor's Blitz evened their best-of-five series with the Quyon Combat Flyers at one game apiece in GOFL playoff action in Quebec on Thursday night with a 3-2 win.


Derrick Bulley took the mound for the Blitz while Quyon countered with Joran Graham.


Both pitchers were dealing early on, striking out the side in the 1st inning.

Blitz threatened in the 2nd. Shannon Borho hit a one out single and advanced to 2nd on a Jon Ferguson walk. Graham would get out of the inning with two strike outs. The Flyers got a leadoff walk from Graham in the bottom of two. Joe McCleary had a sac bunt to advance Graham to 2nd. After a Nick Armitage walk, Bulley got out of the inning with a strikeout and a ground out.

Ottawa got on the board first with a run in the 3rd. After a one-out walk, Bulley hit a line-drive double down the 1st baseline to score the runner all the way from 1st.

Blitz added one more in the 4th. Ferguson walked with one out and advanced to 2nd on a passed ball. After being replaced by Russ Mitchell due to the two-out catcher rule, Adam Grier singled to centrefield, scoring Mitchell, and advancing all the way to 3rd on the error to the Quyon centrefielder.

Quyon tied it up in the bottom of the 4th. Matt Greer lead off with a solo homerun to deep right-centre. Graham followed suit on the very next pitch, knocking one out of the park to deep left.

The winning run crossed the plate in the top of the 6th. Tony Searle lead off with a single, advanced to 2nd on a botched fielder's choice, and took 3rd on a wild pitch. He would then score on a passed ball that took a wild bounce up the 3rd base line.

Bulley gets the Caveman's Choice as player of the game with a complete game three hitter and an RBI.


The best-of-five series is now tied at one game apiece, with game three going Monday night in Quyon at 8pm. Game four will be Wednesday night in Manotick and game five, if necessary, will be Thursday back in Quyon.
