Quyon defeats Kars 8-6 - NOW WITH DETAILS
details from Chad Milne and Moe Laframboise
The Quyon Flyers used home runs to defeat the Kars Aces 8-6 in Tuesday night action in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League on the Quebec side.
Matt Greer had the pitching win for the home team, while Brad Porter took the loss with relief from Luke Severson who came on in the fourth.
In the bottom of the first, Quyon got on the board first. With one out, Shawn Laframboise reached on an error to the pitcher after a full swing bunt and advanced to second on a wild pitch. After advancing to third on a passed ball he came in to score on Greer’s ground out to shortstop.
Trailing 1-0 in the top of the 3rd, Kars struck for a pair of runs. Jordan Shipclark singled leading off and stole second when the next batter struck out. Knapp then walked, but was erased on a fielder’s choice when Ellis grounded one to second base. With two out, Morrison walked to load the bases. Milne then lined what looked like might be the third out of the inning toward second base, but the ball took a weird bounce and eluded the glove of the Quyon second baseman, cashing in both Shipclark and Ellis.
Quyon threatened in the 3rd. With two out, Dennis McCleary doubled to the gap in left. Laframboise’s second ROE of the game advanced McCleary to third however Porter was able to get out of the jam with a strikeout.
The Quyon 4th inning proved to be the difference in this one as they blew the score open, putting up six runs via the long ball. Joe McCleary and Randy Peck each singled to lead off the inning. That was followed by a Steve McCord homerun to centre field. David Hobbs promptly took the very next Porter offering on a frozen rope over the left field fence. Laframboise made the score 7-2 with a two run shot to left centre after Jordan Kearns singled. That would be the end of the night for Porter as Severson came on in relief.
Now trailing 7-2 in the top of the 5th, Kars again pushed two runs across to get back in the game. Knapp singled to lead off. With one out, Morrison ripped a single to right field that skipped past the right fielder, allowing Knapp to score all the way from first base. With Morrison now at second base, Milne fought off an inside pitch taking it back up the middle for an RBI single. Greer was able to get out of the inning without further damage, getting the next two Kars batters.
Joe McCleary led off the Flyers fifth with a solo homer to right field to add an insurance run.
With the score 8-4 in the top of the 6th, Kars cut the lead in half scoring two runs. Kamps led off with a double just inside the first base line and was brought home when Alex Balswall tripled off the fence in right field. Balswall later scored on a ground out to shortstop by Knapp. Ellis then singled to keep the inning going, but Greer was able to retire the next batter on a fly ball to centre.
Quyon went down in order in the 6th as Severson induced a fly ball out and two strikeouts.
