Twins and Rebels win on Thursday

The Micksburg Twins and Orleans Rebels won in Greater Ottawa Fastball League playoff action on Thursday night.

In Manotick, the Rebels edged the Kars Aces 1-0 in playoff Game 3 based on a strong pitching performance from Andy Barber who only allowed three hits, striking out 14. Brad Porter took the loss, allowing three hits over four innings of work; Cory Alkerton threw three innings in relief and only allowed one hit.

The lone run for Orleans was in the top of the first. Matt Healey singled, and was brought in by Andy Barber's RBI double to left field.

Chad Milne, Kristian Knapp and Cory Alkerton had hits for the Aces.

In Micksburg, the Twins defeated the Manotick Brewers 6-2 in playoff Game 4. Joran Graham had the win, allowing only two hits and striking out 18. Luc D'Entremont took the loss. 

Tyler Alexander led off the game for the Brewers with a single, but he was stranded when Graham struck out the next three batters.

The Twins got on the board in the bottom of the first - Andy McIntyre singled and was scored on a homer from Graham.

Micksburg had two baserunners in the second with a Scott Conroy single and a Noah Fleurie walk, but they were stranded.

In the bottom of three, Micksburg scored two. Graham walked, took second on a wild pitch, and scored on a Chad Costello double. An RBI single from Conroy made it 4-0.

The Twins added another in the fourth. Fleurie walked again, went to second on a wild pitch and scored on a Graham double to the right-centre gap. The inning could have been worse if were not for a spectacular catch by Brewers left fielder Chris MacFarlane who caught a long fly with his back to the the infield.

In the fifth the home team added one more. Conroy hit an infield single to go three for three on the night. Joe Mick hit into a fielder's choice and was replaced by pinch runner Nolan Costello on first. A Paul Griffith single put runner on the corners, and Fleurie's RBI single made it 6-0.

The visitors got two in the seventh. MacFarlane walked and stole second. Trevor Beaulieu hit a single to right field that got by the outfielder all the way to the fence and both runs plated. However, Graham got out of the inning to preserve the win.

Based on tonight's results the next playoff games are:

Game 5: West Carleton Electric vs Kars Aces (loser eliminated)
Game 6: Ottawa Valley As vs Manotick Brewers (loser eliminated)
Game 7: Orleans Rebels vs Micksburg Twins (winner to final, loser to loser bracket)

These games were scheduled for Saturday afternoon but the forecast is looking terrible. Watch this blog for details once finalized for game times.

The Bucks beat the Brewers and the Royals beats the Athletics in Shawville Men's Fastpitch League games on Tuesday night.

The first game of the night saw the Bucks win 14-5 over the Brewers in the undefeated game to advance to the finals of the double knockout bracket. Joran Graham earned the win while Adam Rueckwald and Matt Greer shared pitching duties for the BrewCrew, who were caught by four different catchers.

The Bucks were up 6-1 at one point but the Brewers battled back to make the score to 6-5. However, the Bucks piled on the runs to take the game in the late stages. Ryan Nugent, Andrew McIntyre and Scott Conroy all had homers for the winners. 

The late game saw a much tighter match, with the Royals edging the Athletics 3-2 in eight innings. Gregg Garrity earned the win and Trevor Lahey threw well but took the loss.

The teams were tied after seven regulation innings, bringing the tie-breaker rule into effect. In the top of the eighth, Lahey drove in a run to make it 2-1 for the Athletics. However, in the bottom of eight, Cavy Cavanagh hit an RBI single to tie the game, and a bases loaded hit by Darron Barr drove in the winning run.

Bucks beat Royals in Shawville playoffs

The Gannon / Blackburn Electric Bucks edged the Young’s Appliance Royals 2-0 in Shawville Men's Fastpitch League playoff action on Sunday night.

It was another well pitched game at the Shawville R.A., as Joran Graham earned the win with a two hitter, and Gregg Garrity only allowed four hits and struck out 11 in a losing cause.

The Royals threatened in the top of the third. Julien Gagnon and Ron Laronde got on with bases on balls with two outs, and advanced 60 feet on a wild pitch. Gagnon attempted to score on a wild pitch but was put out by the catcher on a close play to end the inning.

The Bucks scored their two runs in the bottom of the fifth. Graham doubled, and was plated by a Scott Conroy double. With Conroy substituted for the two out catcher rule, the runner took home on a wild pitch.

The Royals had another great chance to score in the sixth. Veteran Ron Laronde doubled to start the inning. After a strike out, an infield error and a walk loaded the bases. However, Graham got the next two batters to strike out. 

Andy McIntyre had two hits for the Bucks. Garrity also had a hit for the Royals.

Next games are on Tuesday. The Bucks will face the Brewers at 7 p.m. to determine which team advances to the finals, while the Royals take on the Athletics at 9 p.m. as part of the double knockout bracket.

Brewers beat Athletics 1-0 in Shawville league playoffs

The first game of the Shawville Men's Fastpitch League playoffs on Tuesday night was - stop me if you've heard this before - a well played game of fastpitch softball.

The first place Trudeau Collision Brewers squeaked by the fourth place Bristolview Athletics 1-0 on a beautiful night for ball, ending in one hour and 25 minutes, just before the rain started. 

Adam Rueckwald earned the shutout win for the BrewCrew, allowing only two hits. Trevor Lahey threw very well in a losing cause for the Athletics.

Lahey had one of the two hits for the visitors, a double in the fourth inning. The crafty lefty also threw out of several jams throughout the game, featuring liberal use of his dirty change-up.

With the game tied 0-0 going into the bottom of the seventh and extra innings looming, Steve McCord reached base with one out on a sharply hit grounder that couldn't be corralled by shortstop Pascal Asselin who made several great defensive plays on the night. When McCord took second on a wild pitch, the As intentionally walked Matt Greer. The following batter was Rueckwald who smashed a ball to the right-centre gap, to walk things off for the Brewers.

Next up in the Shawville league double knockout playoff bracket is the third place Young’s Appliance Royals against the second place Gannon/Blackburn Electric Inc. Bucks on Sunday at 7 p.m.

Murphy's Plumbing advances to Harbour Ball finals

Murphy's Plumbing came back to win the third game of their best-of-three semi-final series 10-9 in eight innings against Campbell Fuels in dramatic fashion on Monday night. They now advance to the Fitzroy Harbour Men's Fastball League finals against Bren Electric.

Shawn Ryan started for Murphy's, and 17 year old Ryland Hill picked up the win in relief. Rory "Mayor of Kilmaurs" Burns went the distance for Campbell.

The Fuelers were up 6-1 and 8-2 at points during the game.

The Plumbers scored three in the sixth to make it 8-5, helped by a Richard Wilson home run. Then they scored three more in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game, aided by a two RBI double by Shane Boyd that bounced of the bottom of the grey monster in right field.

The top of the eighth saw Joe Grey drive in a run for Campbell to make it 9-8 setting up an exciting bottom of the extra inning. Murphy's had the bases loaded with one out. Jimmy Hatchell hit a liner to right field, scoring Ryan easily. The third base coach held up Ryland Hill at third, but his dad Denis continued running to third. With both players within three feet of one another, some confusion ensued. Ryland broke towards the plate, it looked the throw might get him out, but it was offline and missed, and he scored to get Murphy's the win.

Next up are the very prestigious Harbour Ball best-of-three finals, starting Wednesday at 7 p.m.
