Stittsville walks off 7-6 win over West Carleton

The Stittsville 56ers won in the bottom of the seventh on Wednesday night in Greater Ottawa Fastball League play, earning at 7-6 win over West Carleton Electric in a back and forth game.

Adam Smith had the pitching win for the 56ers, with one inning of work in relief of Kyle Olson. Jeff Barber (4 innings) took the loss in relief of Steve Cavangah (3 innings) for West Carleton.

WC staked out a 2-0 lead in the first inning and a half. In the first, Kevin Shonfield doubled and scored on Chris Costello's RBI double. In the second inning, Trevor Barton tripled and scored on Neil Murphy's single.

Stittsville answered back with a pair in the bottom of the second. After a walk to Scott Jessiman, John Craig reached on a fielder's choice. Smith then launched a two run shot to left centre to plate two.

A Fitzroy rally in the third with two out put the Electric up by a deuce. Costello singled, then Jeff Cavanagh singled, with both scoring on a double by Barton.

The lead was short-lived however as the 56ers took a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the third, sending nine men to the plate. Luc D'Entremont lead off with a double and scored on Dan Jessiman's single. After a single by Scott Jessiman, a misplayed grounder hit by John Craig plated Dan. Craig came around to scored on another hit by the invisible hand of Adam Smith.

Stittsville added to their lead in the fifth. Aaron Amo lead off with a double and scored on yet another RBI by Smith, his fourth of the game.

The Electric rallied to tie the game at six in the sixth. Neil Murphy started off with a walk. After a pop up, a pinch hit single by Adam Brown put two runners on. A walk to Andy Barber loaded the bases. A full count single by Shonfield scored two runs to tie things up.

Things got dramatic in the bottom of the seventh as Stittsville rallied for the win. With one out, Amo ripped a triple to the corner in left field. The Electric elected to intentionally walk Smith. The next batter struck out to get two outs. Then, with an 0-2 count, Jamie O'Hare punched a ball up the middle that couldn't be fielded cleanly, allowing Amo to score the game winning run.
