SUMMERSIDE - The Saskatchewan Junior Diamondbacks can thank the
bats of Barry Sparvier and Matt King for an upset 5-4 extra inning
win over the Ontario Two reps Elmira Advance Millwright Tuesday
afternoon here.
Sparvier hit a two run blast in the second inning to put the
Saskatoon-based team a 2-1 lead, before hitting a second, two-run
bomb in the bottom of the seventh with his team down 4-2 to tie
it up and force the extra inning.
King came to bat with one out and Codie Gross on third base as
a result of the international tiebreaking rule that places the
last out on second base. He hit an 0-1 pitch to right field and
Gross tagged up, just beating the throw from Elmira right fielder
Ron Dean to catcher Travis Martin for the 5-4 upset win.
Jack McLaren (2-3) had the bulk of Elmira’s offense, hitting
a two run home run of his own. Tim Freeman (1-2, RBI, caught
stealing) and Josh Brohman (1-4, run scored) also contributed.
The D’Backs had an earlier home run stolen when Geoff Martin
made a beautiful catch right at the fence off Kyle Hyrcuik.
Brady Woods earned the win, going three and two third innings
in relief walking two and striking out three. Hyrcuik went four
and one third inning allowing four runs on four hits, walking
four and sitting down four.
Dan Martin took the loss going seven and two-third innings, allowing
five runs on four hits, walking one and striking out three.
