Stittsville takes game 5 over Barrhaven
from John Craig
Stittsville 4 Barrhaven 1
The Barrhaven Broadway Blue and Stittsville 56ers switched gears last night and played a game of speed ball for the deciding game 5.
The 56ers were held to just 1 base runner through the first 3 innings, put a couple on the 4th but could not cash in followed by a 3 up 3 down 5th and Paul Ceppi was cruising for Barrhaven.
On the flip side Darren Featherstone did not allow a man on base until the fourth when Donny Cox hit a triple but was left stranded at 3rd, and then Featherstone also managed a 3 up 3 down in the top of the 5th so after about 45 minutes the two teams were tied 0-0 and moving quickly into the 6th.
At the top of the order Scott Herriot drew a walk to lead off the 6th, then Featherstone reached first on an error allowing Herriot to move to third. Dan Jessiman then ripped a line drive double into right field scoring Herriot and moving Featherstone to 3rd. A walk to Ryan Bond loaded the bases and Scott Jessiman cashed in two more runs with a single. John Craig would later score on a pass ball giving the 56ers a 4-0 lead.
As they have all series the Blues came right back in the bottom half of the 6th when Lindsay Medynski drew a walk and scored on Kevin Schonfield’s triple to left. It appeared as though momentum had quickly shifted but Featherstone got a ground ball and struck out 2 to get out of the inning.
Barrhaven threatened again in the 7th when Chad Hargrove hit a leadoff double and after a couple of outs Kevin Williams beat out a ground ball, and Medynski was hit by a pitch - suddenly the bases were loaded. Featherstone got a ground ball to close out the game with the 56ers coming out on top, 4-1.
Featherstone gets the win and Ceppi gets the loss. Jason Smith saw action in relief for Barrhaven.
Caveman player of the game is Featherstone for allowing only 1 run and picking up 8 K’s.
Other notables – a mystery 56er was speeding down the base path when he (must have) got his Ronald MacDonald shoe caught up in the bag and took a bit a header over first.
Congrats to the Blues for a hard fought series and pushing it down to the wire.
