Hill leaves in style, leading Kelly’s Pub over Elmira

SUMMERSIDE - Jason Hill left the 2007 Causeway Bay Softball Canada
Junior Men’s championship in style Friday night, leading Newfoundland
and Labrador’s Kelly’s Pub Canadians past Elmira Advance Millwright
8-4 in the first playoff game at the 2007 Causeway Bay Softball
Canada Junior Men’s fast pitch championship.
Hill leaves Saturday morning to join his International Softball
Congress team the Farm Tavern of Wisconsin at the ISC World Tournament
in Kitchener.
He made a lasting impression of how powerful his bat can be,
going a perfect 3-for-3 with two singles, a double, a walk and
two RBI.
Brad Ezekiel was also perfect at the plate in three at bats,
driving home a run. Justin Gill (2-5, three runs scored), Stephen
Strapp (1-4, RBI) and Ken Gosse (1-3, two RBI) were also hot
at the dish for the defending champions.
Elmira scored three runs on errors to NL first basemen Gary Bruce,
followed by a passed ball by catcher Stephen Strapp in their
half of the second. 
It all happened after what appeared to be a third out for the
inning. Pitcher Sean Cleary threw to Bruce, who bobbled the ball
as he and the Elmira runner, Josh Brohman (1-4), made contact.
This allowed Ben Wideman (1-3) and Ron Dean (2-3, RBI) to be
plated on the play giving the Ontario runner ups a 3-2 lead.
Jack McLaren, losing pitcher Dan Martin and Travis Martin each
had 1-for-3 summaries.
MVP Sean Cleary went the distance giving up four runs - one earned
- on seven hits while sitting down eight.
Martin pitched a complete game, surrendering eight runs - five
earned - on 12 hits while walking six.
NL had a chance to open the scoring much more then they did,
loading the bases in each of the third, sixth and seventh innings
but failing to cash the runners in.
Kelly's Pub will now await the winner of the Saskatchewan and
Scarborough game at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
