Micksburg edges West Carleton Electric 2-1

In Greater Ottawa Fastball League play on Tuesday night in Fitzroy Harbour, the visiting Micksburg Twins edged West Carleton Electric 2-1 in the first game for both teams.

Corey Costello earned the win, with Joran Graham picking up the save. The lone Fitzroy hit was a Trevor Barton bunt single in the third.

Andy Barber threw well in taking the loss for Fitzroy allowing only three hits.

The Twins scored their runs in the third. Paul Griffith lead off with a walk. Mark Bell then bunted with two strikes, pushing the ball down third. The Electric attempted to get the lead runner, but the throw was errant. A sacrifice bunt by Riley Hennessy moved the runners over 60 feet. With the infield drawn in, Kerr Childerose punched a single through the middle to score both runs and put the Twins up 2-0, earning himself the nod as the Caveman's Choice as player of the game.

Costello threw four shutout innings, facing 13 batters, but gave way to Graham in the fifth. After a ground out, Dave Bahm reached first on a Micksburg error. Neil Murphy walked to put two on. The following batter grounded out. Trevor Barton then popped up, but it was misplayed and the bases were full. A walk to Andy Barber scored a run for the 'Trics. Graham got out of the inning with a strikeout.

There was no further scoring and the Twins prevailed with a 2-1 victory.
