West Carleton Electric wins second game 8-0 over Manotick Blitz

West Carleton Electric won game two of their best-of-five series over the Manotick Taylor's Blitz 8-0 in GOFL playoffs in Manotick on Wednesday night.

Andy Barber had the win, allowing only two hits over the five inning game, while Shannon Borho had the loss and had relief from Derick Bulley.

The Electric scored two to start the first inning. Andy Barber reached on a bunt single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Neil Murphy and moved to third on Derek Barber's single. Derek stole second and both Barbers scored on brother Jeff's double to make it 2-0.

West Carleton added two more in the fourth. Dave Bahm lead off with a single. After a bunt attempt was popped up for an out, Bahm took second on a long fly by Steve Cavanagh. Bahm scored on Jon Daley's double, who then scored on Andy Barber's double.

Fitzroy capped their scoring with four in the fifth inning. Derek Barber reached on an error. When Jeff Barber grounded to second, Derek alertly avoided the tag - though Jeff was out at first, Derek was safe at second after a run down. Jeff Cavanagh was then hit by a pitch. Both runners advanced sixty feet on a ground out. Mike Cavanagh's double to the wall scored both runners, prompting the Blitz to relieve starter Borho with Bulley. Steve Cavanagh doubled to score Mike Cav and Daley tripled to score SCav to make it 8-0.

When the Blitzos were unable to respond in the bottom of the fifth, the game was ended on the run rule.

The teams will play again on Thursday August 22 in Fitzroy at 8pm in game three.
