SUMMERSIDE - Ken Gosse’s two run single in the fourth inning
stood up as the winner as the Newfoundland and Labrador Kelly’s
Pub Canadians remained perfect at 5-0 with a com-from-behind
3-2 win over the East Hants Henchmen, the Nova Scotia representatives
at the 2007 Causeway Bay Softball Canada Junior Men’s Fast Pitch
championship.
Gosse came to bat with pinch runner Matt Hill on third and Mark
Lewis at second base and two out. The shortstop then waited for
his pitch, a low inside drop ball, and he got it.
He made no mistake sending the pitch up the middle to center
field, plating Hill and Lewis with the tying and eventual game
winning runs.
"This was a big win for us, we needed it," Gosse said. "It’s
good to pull out that W."
The defending champions have another big test later Wednesday
against the Saskatchewan Junior Diamondbacks at 6 p.m. The win
is also setting up a very pivotal game between them and Ontario
One reps, Scarborough Wolverines, Thursday night at 8 p.m. in
the final round robin game - a game that could determine first
place.
Lewis (1-1, double, walk), Stephen Strapp (3-4) and Jon Kane
(1-2) were offensive power for N.L.
East Hants’ hits came from Andy Chase (1-4, two RBI), Aaron Harvey
(1-4, run scored), Laurie Isenor (1-3), Pat Stewart (1-3) and
losing pitcher Adam White (1-2).
Sean Cleary went the complete game, fanning 14 batters and walking
just two batters.
White went five innings, giving up three runs on six hits, walking
three and striking out one. Cory Avery went two innings in relief,
facing seven batters.
