Blue Devils Blast Crunch

Bluewater Fastball League

at Duncan McLellan Park, Owen Sound

Port Elgin Blue Devils 12 Owen Sound Crunch 6

Blue Devils left fielder Matt Willis had a grand slam in the
6th inning to 
propel the Blue Devils to the victory.

Second Baseman Darryl MacKinnon and Designated Player Ryan Dudgeon
both 
homered in the 7th to seal the win.

The Crunch escaped an early jam in the first when Mike Majury
caught a hard 
hit ball in center field for the second out of the inning and
nailed 
MacKinnon at the plate with the throw to keep the game scoreless
in the 
early going.

The Blue Devils flashed the leather in the bottom of the first
when 
rightfielder Blake Underwood made a running catch on a Ken Kivell
liner.

Underwood opened the scoring in the second. He got on board via
an error and 
scored on a Matt Turcotte double to the fence in left center.

Turcotte was driven in by MacKinnon as the Blue Devils grabbed
a 2-0 lead.

The Crunch tied the affair in the bottom of the third. Right
fielder Chris 
Barfoot scored on a wild pitch and second baseman Troy Barfoot
plated the 
tying run with an r.b.i, single.

Port Elgin restored their two run lead in the top of the fourth.
Brian Lantz 
was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on wild pitches and scored
on another 
Turcotte r.b.i., this time a long sacrifice fly.

Then, after MacKinnon doubled, Ryan Whitney drove him in to give
the Devils 
a 4-2 advantage.

The Crunch came close to tying the affair in the bottom of the
inning, but 
Port Elgin reliever Rob Fawcett struck out Devon Edwards of the
Crunch with 
the bases loaded.

Port Elgin blew the game open in the 6th with 5 runs including
the grand 
slam by Willis.

In the bottom of the inning, the Crunch avoided the " mercy rule
" on a 3 
run homer by Bill Ottewell.

However, in the top of the 7th, MacKinnon and Dudgeon cracked
homers to give 
the Blue Devils a 12-6 victory.

Darryl Banks started for Port Elgin. He went 3 & 2/3rd and gave
up 4 hits. 
Fawcett pitched the remainder of the game for the Blue Devils.

Garrett Baker went all the way for the Crunch, giving up 15 hits
including 
the 3 home runs to the hard hitting Blue Devils. Baker struck
out 3 in the 
game.

Tonight, Port Elgin will host the Wiarton Tom Norris Busmen at
Lakeview Park 
at 8:30.

Tomorrow, the Crunch are back in action when they visit Holstein
to meet the 
Clifford Lumber Kings.
