Napanee, Scarborough remain undefeated

By Pat Healey

ALBERTON, PEI
  - Ontario softball rivals Napanee Express and the Scarborough Sabrewolves 
are the last teams remaining undefeated following day two at the 2004 
Tignish Credit Union Bantam Boys Eastern Canadians in Alberton.

The Express came up with back to back wins over East Hants High Tide 8-1 
despite second baseman Taylor MacArthur suffering a MCL injury in the fifth 
inning and then beat the Host 8-1.

Scarborough meanwhile had a slightly less exciting day, as they topped 
Placentia Lions 7-0 behind solid defence and pitching.

Napanee and Scarborough's on-field rivalry goes back to their battle for 
the Ontario Amateur Softball Association (OASA) provincial championship.

Against East Hants, the Express was led by Luc Lahey who helped his cause 
both on the slab and at the dish, pitching a six inning one-hit gem, with 
the only run being scored on a passed ball.

Lahey (1-3, home run, three RBI), Kyle Lloyd (2-3, RBI, two runs scored, 
triple), Kyle Arsenault (1-1, RBI, double, run scored) and the hot hitting 
Chris Brown (1-3, two RBI, triple, run scored) led the Express at the plate.

For East Hants, Adam Day (1-3) got the only hit while Zach Sill (0-1, hit 
by pitch) scored the only run.

Lahey struck out 13 on route to the win. Losing pitcher was Tim Colbert who 
struck out five.

Against the host Athletics, Ryan Wagar (2-3) was the big bat as the Express 
scored at least one run in each inning en route to the win.

Wagar hit an inside the park homerun to deep centerfield in the fourth 
inning that brought home Kyle Arsenault who walked to get on base.

Also leading Napanee, who were cheered on by Midget Express players Jordan 
MacDonald and Andy Madden to name a couple, was Scott Mills (2-2, run 
scored, two RBI), Randy Bedwell (1-2, run scored) and Chris Brown (1-2, RBI).

For the host A's, Jeff Hustler (1-2, RBI), Joel MacNeill (1-2) and Mike 
MacIsaac (0-0, two walks, run scored) led Alberton.

Winning pitcher Kyle Arsenault struck out nine while losing pitcher Kyle 
Richards fanned two batters.

SABERWOLVES TOP LIONS

Matt Martinello (2-3, RBI, two runs scored), Navin Seelochand (1-3), Ryan 
McCluskey (2-2, RBI, run scored) and Jamie Wellman (2-2, RBI) pushed the 
Shuckie Ramotar-coached team's offense.

For the Lions, Andy McCarthy (1-2) and Johnny O'Reilly (1-2) were the only 
two to hit Chris Ramoutar pitching.

Winning pitcher was Ramoutar who struck out nine while Chris Hammond took 
the loss fanning five batters.

RICHMOND LOSES TWICE

It wasn't a good day two for the Richmond Red Sox as they were beat by the 
East Hants High Tide and Conception Bay South Storm.

Adam Day (2-4, three runs scored, two doubles, walk), Justin Dillman (2-4, 
run scored, two RBI, triple), Matt Dillman (1-4, run scored, two RBI),) and 
Bryan Gillis (1-4, run scored) led the High Tide attack.

For Richmond (1-2), Chad McNeil (2-3, run scored, RBI) and Ryan Ferrish 
(1-3, run scored) was all the offense the Red Sox could muster.

Winning pitcher was Tim Colbert who came on in relief for Jeremy Locke, who 
played with the East Hants Peewee team that competed in Alberton last year. 
Losing pitcher was Ryan Ferrish.

Against the Storm, Andrew Murphy scored both the runs, unearned, including 
the eventual game winning run in the fifth inning as the Conception Bay 
South Storm went to 1-1 with the win.

FLYERS FLY PAST MARINERS

C.J. Price (2-3, RBI) and Adam Beck (2-3, RBI) led the New Brunswick All 
Star Flyers over the Musq. Harbour Mariners.

For the Mariners, Tim McKay (1-3, double, RBI) brought home Andrew Connelly 
in the second, before the Flyers rallied for the win.

Winning pitcher was Kyle Ryan while Andrew Connelly took the loss.

SABERWOLVES TAKE SKILLS; A'S COME SECOND

The Scarborough Saberwolves have laid claim to at least one of two title's 
available at the 2004 Eastern Canadians - as Alberton Sports skills
