WC advances to gold medal game at U20s

West Carleton Electric advanced to the Softball Canada U20 Men's Canadian Championship gold medal game on Sunday with a 12-10 dramatic,  intense and at times insane win in nine innings over the Brookfield, NS Elks on Saturday night at the Carp Fairgrounds.

Kaden Fowler earned the pitching win and hit a two run homer in the top of the ninth. He relieved starter Carter Marshall.

Will Singer went the distance for the Elks and took the loss.

Colton Lecuyer and Finn Barton also had home runs for West Carleton. 

At one point in the bottom of the fifth, the Electric were down 9-3, with a runner to invoke the mercy rule on third base. An improbable comeback and eventual victory in nine innings ensued.

With the victory, West Carleton Electric advanced to the gold medal game at 1:30 p.m. They will play the winner of the semi-final between Brookfield and the St. George Aces which defeated Équipe Québec 7-6 in the quarter-final game on Saturday night.

The story above doesn't do justice to the incredible game last night. I'm helping coach the team and far too exhausted to write more right now. Once the event is done I'll try to document a proper breakdown of what happened. If you weren't there or watching the stream, do yourself a favor and watch the recording here.
