Maurice Beauregard Memorial game a close one

The men's fastball game at the Maurice Beauregard Memorial event in Campbell’s Bay, QC was once again a close finish, with the Flyers prevailing 4-3 over the Athletics. 

Like previous years, a good crowd was on hand to witness the game which was played in the middle of a community 3-pitch softball tournament. 

Adam Reuckwald had the win on the slab, while Marc "Kayser" Lavigne took the loss in relief of Gabe Brown and Daniel Read.

The Athletics opened the scoring in the second. Carter Beauregard singled and ended up scoring on a Kayser double.

The Athletics added two in the third. Bennett Rusenstrom doubled, took third on a wild pitch and scored on Ethan Howard's sacrifice fly. Hunter Beauregard then reached on an error and scored on Read's double.

The veterans on the Flyers side got two back in the sixth. Rueckwald walked, Darryl Crawford singled, followed by an Adam Brown single driving in a run. An RBI ground out by Troy Gravelle scored a second run.

The Flyers come back to win it in the bottom of the seventh. Julien Gagnon walked to lead things off and stole second base. After a flyout, two walks to Jared Murray and Rueckwald loaded the bases. Hometown favourite Crawford's infield single scored Gagnon to tie it, and a single by Adam Brown walked it off as a 4-3 final.
