GOFL playoff scenarios - updated from Thursday

It's that time of year when the Greater Ottawa Fastball League regular season starts to wind down and playoffs are coming up soon, likely the week of August 9th. As such, here is a breakdown of where teams may end up in the standings.

Kars Aces (12-5-1)
The Aces are currently in top spot, and could stay there. However, if the Flyers win their final game, Kars loses the tiebreaker as Quyon has the season series. If Micksburg wins their remaining games, the Aces could finish as low as third.

Quyon Flyers (11-5-1, one game remaining vs I4C)
The Flyers are in second, but with a win in the final game could finish on top as they hold the season series advantage over Kars. If they lose their final game, and Micksburg wins out, they could finish as low as third.

Micksburg Twins (9-5, three games* remaining against I4C, one game remaining vs WC Electric)
The * above is because the Twins are actually going to play a doubleheader against I4C with six points on the line - three per game. If the Twins win out, they could go as high as first. If they lose their remaining games, they could go as low as fourth.

Stittsville 56ers (7-9-2)
The 56ers are in fourth. They could fall to as low as sixth depending on how I4C and West Carleton do in their remaining games.

West Carleton Electric (7-9-1, one game remaining vs Micksburg)
WC is in fifth, but a win in their last game could see the Electric bump up to fourth. However, a loss and some wins by I4C in their remaining games could the Trics bump down to sixth.

I4C Victory (6-8, three games* remaining against Micksburg, one game remaining vs Quyon)
As mentioned above, the "six point" doubleheader next week will be a big determining factor on where I4C ends up. The could go as high as third, but if they lose all their remaining games, they could be sixth.

Ottawa Valley As (3-14-1)
The As will finish seventh.

Kars defeats Stittsville 5-2 on Wednesday night

from Chad Milne

Kars Aces travelled to Stittsville on Wednesday night to take on the 56ers, looking to avenge their last meeting that ended in a tie after Stittsville staged an improbable comeback.

Back on June 29^th in Manotick, Kars looked to be cruising to a 4-1 win when with a two out and nobody on in the top of the seventh and Stittsville down to their final strike, the 56ers erupted for 3 runs to tie the game 4-4.

Fast forward to Wednesday, the Aces jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. With one out in the top of the first inning, Brad Pender walked and scored on Nick Ellis’ two-run homer. Ellis hit the first pitch he saw from Adam Smith down the line in left field, curling it just enough to sneak it around the foul pole.

Stittsville got one run back in the bottom of the third, but the Aces immediately answered with two more runs in the top of the fourth. Cory Morrison led off with a double down the right field line and later scored when with two out Kyle Gourgon drilled a pitch into the left-centre field gap. It would have been an easy stand-up triple for the speedy Gourgon, but Stittsville had some trouble getting the ball back to infield and Gourgon never slowed up, scoring easily to make it 4-1 Aces.

Stittsville threatened in the bottom of the fifth, loading the bases with one out, but only managed to score one run. Trevor Scott hit a flare just over the infield in right field that second baseman Kristian Knapp raced a long way to catch but lost control of the ball. Knapp recovered to throw the ball toward home, but the short relay from the pitcher Severson to the catcher Alkerton was not in time to get the out at home. After a pop-out, the next batter grounded into an unassisted double play by the third baseman Gourgon to end the inning.

The Aces got an important insurance run in the top of the seventh, playing some textbook fastball. Gourgon led off with a single, was sacrificed to second on Chad Milne’s bunt and was driven home on a two-out single by Knapp.

Stittsville tried to stage another last inning comeback in the bottom of the seventh loading the bases thanks to some defensive miscues on the Aces’ infield, but Severson wriggled out of the jam to preserve the 5-2 win. Cory Alkerton had the win, with Severson getting the save in relief. Adam Smith took the loss for Stittsville.

With the win and the Micksburg loss to Quyon, Kars moved into sole possession of first place in the GOFL with a record of 10-4-1.

Stittsville defeats As in first game, second game rained out

The Stittsville 56ers defeated the Ottawa Valley As 7-0 in the first game of Greater Ottawa Fastball League play on Thursday night in Carp. Adam Smith got the win, while Adam Rueckwald took the loss.

The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was postponed due to rain with Stittsville leading 3-1 in the bottom of the fourth.

Quyon edges by West Carleton 1-0

In what observers were calling a "well played game of fastpitch softball" that took just over 70 minutes, the Quyon Flyers won a close one over West Carleton Electric by a score of 1-0 on Thursday night in Greater Ottawa Fastball League play.

Both pitchers had great nights on the slab, with Matt Greer getting the win and Andy Barber throwing very well in a losing effort.

Quyon threatened in the bottom of the first. Dennis McCeleary lead off with a single, took second on a passed ball, and moved to third on wild pitch. After a strike out, Matt Greer walked and stole second. Barber got a ground out, and second baseman Trevor Barton stole a hit getting to a sharply hit line drive to end the inning.

The Flyers had another threat in the second. After back to back strikeouts, both Jordan Kearns and Curtis Daley walked. A sharply hit ball up the middle was once again cleanly field by Barton who stepped on second base to end the inning and save runs.

The top of the fourth saw the Electric get a good chance to get on the board. Barber's hard hit ball was misplayed and he reached frist. After the sac bunt attempt was popped up, Michael Cavanagh singled. However good defense by Quyon by Nick Armitage at second and Steve McCord at third on consecutive ground balls stopped the rally.

The home team also had a good chance in the fourth. McCord walked with one out, and a bunt by Shawn Laframboise was misplayed to put two on. Barber got a strikeout, followed by a grounder to third on which Steve Edgerton made a huge stretch to get out at first base.

The fifth saw West Carleton get Edgerton on with a lead off walk, move him to second on a Chris Costello sac bunt. However, Greer got a strike out for the second out, and flare by Joey Sawyer that looked like it might drop in shallow right was caught by Armitage.

The Flyers scored the game's only run in the fifth. With one out, Dave Hobbs doubled down the left field line and score on Matt Greer's double.

With their last chance at bat, the Trics rallied in the seventh. The first out of the inning was a sharply hit grounder that was well fielded by Hobbs at short to get the put out at first. Steve Cavanagh then singled, follow by a single from Edgerton. Greer got the next batter to K, and the game was ended when Hobbs made another excellent play at short on a grounder to finish things at 1-0 for Q-town.

Quyon beats West Carleton 6-4

At the Quyon Canada Day game the Quyon Flyers defeated West Carleton Electric 6-4 amidst the fireworks on Thursday night.

Trevor Lahey had the win, while Andy Barber took the loss.

Quyon got on the board in the first with their first batter of the game Dennis McCleary hitting the first pitch he saw for a solo homer. The Flyers had the bases loaded in the first after a single by Nick Armitage and walks to Steve McCord and Randy Peck, but Barber got out of the inning with just the one run allowed

However, the Flyers put up five in the second. Jordan Kearns lead off with a single, and Lahey also singled. Both advanced a based on a passed ball. After a ground out and pop up, the Trics elected to intentionally walk Matt Greer to get the force on. A two RBI double by Armitage and subsequent three run homer by Steve McCord made it 6-0.

For the next four innings, Barber settled in and allowed only one further base runner.

It looked like Fitzroy might get on the board in the fourth. Shawn Rebertz singled, and advanced to second on a wild pitch. With two out, Mitch Taylor hit a screamer deep to centre, but an excellent catch but McCleary got the last out.

As Lahey scattered hits for the first six frames, WC finally got on the board with four in the top of the seventh. Taylor started off the inning with a single. Lahey struck out the next two. Andy Barber then singled. Trevor Barton's double scored Taylor, and Neil Murphy's double scored Barber and Barton. Jeff Cavanagh then singled, scoring Murphy to make it 6-4. Rebertz then hit a long fly ball that was just short of the fence, and the Flyers sealed the win as the fireworks went off over the Ottawa River.
