Bantams win two lose a close one The Port Perry Merchant Bantam fastball club played three league games this past week winning two and losing a close one. This week's write up is brought to you by Kirby Structueés, the npany that builds buildi not only to suit but to last. The Merchants travelled to Vaughan on Wednesday, June 7th where they managed to pick up their first win of the week. The Merchants came out swinging and by the end of the first inning they had a 6-0 lead. The game turned into quite a defensive game from this point on as Vaughan was the only team to score a run to make it 6-1 until the sixth inning. The Merchants picked up two runs in each of the last two innings while Vaughan was held to 2 in the sixth and 1 in the seventh to make it a 10-4 fina! in favour of the Merchatns. Clay Brown was on the mound for the Merchants and went five strong innings as the drop ball was working well causing the Vaughan players to hit a lot of groundballs for easy outs. Marshal McQuaid came on in relief for the final two innings to close the game out. Doing the offensive work for the Merchants were; Clay Brown with four singles, Doug Short with two singles, and singles by Marshal McQuaid, Brad Monsma, Owen St. John, Jason Best and Marc Versage, picking up walks were Derek Tindall, Scott Jeffery and Ryan Moynes. The Merchants next took to the field on Sunday, June 11th in Port Perry for a double header against Bramalea. The first game started out okay as the Merchants shut down Bramalea in the top half of the inning and managed to pick up a run in the bottom of the inning to take a 1-0 lead. The second inning was a disaster of sorts for the Merchants as they allowed Bramalea to pick up seven runs to take a 7-1 lead. The score stayed this way until the home half of the third inning when Marc Versage lead off the inning with a booming homerun to straight away centre field. This seemed to wake up the Merchants as they managed to pick up three more runs to make it a 7-5 game. The Merchants continued the come back as they tied the game up at seven apiece with two more runs in the fourth inning. With the defence holding the Bramalea players at bay the offence continued to roll along as they picked up three runs in the fifth inning to take a 10-7 lead. Not giving up however was Bramalea who mounted a comeback of their own to tie the game at 10 apiece to set the stage for the bottom of the seventh inning. With one out Jason Best launched a long ball and legged it out for a triple. With the winning run standing on their base only sixty feet away it was Marc Versage who would seal the victory with a solid single to make it an 11-10 final in the Merchatns favour. Marshal McQuaid was on the mound for the Merchants and went the distance for the win. The offence was led by Marc Versage who had a homer, triple, single, a sacrifice fly and was hit by a pitch (sell done Marc). Also helping out at the plate were; Jason Best with two singles, a triple and a walk, Ryan Hawkins with a single, triple, a walk and was hit by a pitch, Scott Jeffery a triple, singles by Doug Short, Ryan Williamson and Marshal McQuaid, Jon Froats and Ryan Moynes had a walk each. The second game of the double header had the home team Merchants jump out to a quick 3-0 lead at the end of the first inning. The defences for both teams was working well but it was Bramalea that would get back into the game as they picked up two runs in the third inning and one in the fourth to tie the game up at three apiece. The Merchants ran into trouble in the top of the fifth inning as Bramalea bunched some solid hits together and banged in four runs to take a 7-3 lead. The Merchants got one of these back in the bottom of the fifth inning to make it a 7-4 game. The home half of the seventh inning was as exciting as it gets. The Merchants are a determined bunch and they were not about to give up. They opened up with a triple, single, triple to score two runs to make it a 7-6 game and have the tying run standing at third base. Then all of a sudden it's a strike out, shallow fly ball out and a throw out at home place on a tag up hang on for the 7-6 win. Jon Froats and Clay Brown shared the pitching duties in this game and both did an admiral job. Hitting for the Merchants in this game were Doug Short with three singles, Ryan Hawkins and Ryan Williamson with a single and triple each, Jason Best with two singles and Jon Froats, Ryan Moynes and Scott Jeffery with a single each. The Merchants next home game is on Wednesday, June 21st against Peterborough with an 8:30pm start time. Come on out and give us your support you won't be disappointed.
