Quyon beat Valley As in their GOFL debut (story from Week 1)

from Shawn Laframboise

The Quyon Flyers opened up the 2015 season in Shawville with a tilt versus the expansion Ottawa Valley A’s.  Flyer newcomer Derick Bulley got the opening day nod for the home side while the A’s countered with Todd "Willy White Shoes" Wilson.

It was a low scoring affair with the game remaining scoreless until the bottom of the 3rd.  With one out, Bulley singled to left field and scored on a Shawn Laframboise triple to make it 1-0 Quyon.

The Flyers extended their lead in the 4th.  Steve McCord reached on an error to the second baseman and advanced to second on a Dave Hobbs base hit.  Curtis Daley knocked in McCord with a base hit of his own to make it 2-0 Quyon.

The A’s answered back with one of their own in the top of the 5th.  After walking two A’s, Bulley surrendered an RBI single to Steve Frost to cut the Quyon lead in half, prompting a rare Quyon pitching change.  Bulley moved to first base, taking over for Laframboise, and handed the ball over to Trevor Lahey for the remainder of the game.  Lahey was able to get out of the inning with a strike out.

The score remained the same until the 7th.  After the OVA’s first two batters were retired on strikes they sparked a two-out rally to take the lead.  Clayton Vance reached first on an error to the Quyon shortstop and scored on Frost’s deep triple over the head of the Quyon left fielder.  Frost then came in to score on a wild pitch to give the visiting team their first ever GOFL lead.

Jordan Kearns started things off for the Flyers in the bottom of the 7th with a pinch hit single to right field.  After a strike out, Lahey walked and Dennis McCleary singled to load the bases for Matt Greer.  Greer’s base hit proved to be the game winner.
