LeClair mows down 14 as Quebec moves on; East Hants eliminated
 
BY PAT HEALEY
MEDIA OFFICER
SUMMERSIDE - Quebec pitcher Francis LeClair had the East Hants
Henchmen batters mesmerized Saturday morning in the first placement
game, mowing down 
The game featured just three hits between the two teams and a
total of 23 strikeouts- 14 by LeClair and saw the game’s only
run score as a result of a Mathieu Benoit RBI single in the bottom
of the fourth inning.
"We’re hoping to do the same as last year," LeClair said, noting
Quebec won three times in 2006 on Saturday to make it to Sunday
action. "It’s a hard way to do it, but it’s the only way for
us to get there."
East Hants did have their chances, stranding seven bases runners
- including leaving the bases juiced in top of the fourth- compared
to Quebec, who had just three runners left on base.
David LeClair had the other Quebec hit.
Aaron Harvey had the Henchmen’s lone hit.
Cory Avery went the distance in suffering the loss in the pitcher’s
duel, walking two and striking out nine.
Quebec will now face Elmira Advance Millwright at 1 pm in the
playoff round.. Both teams need to win to continue playing on.
