The second game of the Manotick doubleheader saw Brad Porter earn the win and Matt Greer take the loss with relief from Earl Kearns.

Dennis McCleary led off the game with a single up the middle and took 2^nd base when the centre fielder was slow to get to the ball.  Shawn Laframboise walked.  After a strikeout, both runners advanced on a wild pitch.  Porter struck the next batter out bringing Randy Peck to the plate.  McCleary would then score on a passed ball after leaping over the catcher’s tag.

Greer started strong fanning the first two Kars’ batters. Back-to-back singles by Morrison and Milne were left stranded when Greer got the next batter on another strike out.

Quyon added another in the top of the 2^nd.  Steve McCord walked and advanced to second on an Earl Kearns sacrifice bunt.  He would then score on a one out single from David Hobbs.

Kars had a big second inning. Danny Powers singled to lead off and was advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Ian King. Jordan Shipclark then singled to bring Powers home with Kars’ first run. Porter followed with an rbi single and then Kristian Knapp singled. With two out, Cory Morrison singled to bring home both runners. Greer struck out the next batter to end the inning with Kars leading 4-2.

The Flyers answered back with two in the 3^rd.  Laframboise led off with a solo homerun to left field.  Greer walked and advanced to third on a Joe McCleary single.  Greer would then come in to score on an RBI single from McCord.

Kars could not respond, leaving Power stranded after a one out double, to keep it at 4-4.

Then in the fourth, with one out, the top four batters in Kars order reached base on three singles and a walk, scoring once and chasing Greer from the game. Earl Kearns came into pitch. M. Alkerton brought home a run with a sacrifice fly. Kearns got the next batter to end the inning and Kars lead 6-4.

Kars invoked the run rule in the fifth. King singled to lead off and Porter reached base on a fielder’s choice. Knapp then singled to drive in one run. With the bases loaded and one out, following an Ellis single, Morrison drilled the first pitch he saw deep over the centre field fence for a game-ending grand slam. Kars wins 11-4.

Cory Morrison was the Caveman's Choice as player of the game: 4-4, 3-1B, GS HR, 7 rbi
