Kitchener starter, Todd Martin pitched 7 innings taking the loss.<br \/>\nNiagara Snappers Scott Young and Jarrod Burtt homered to pace the Snappers<br \/>\nto the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Game # 2<br \/>\nKitchener Twins 5<br \/>\nNiagara Snappers 3<br \/>\nWP: Todd Martin (1-1), in relief of Jeremy deBelleval.<br \/>\nLP: Perry Bartley (0-1)<br \/>\nIn the second game, The Twins came from behind for the 5-3 win.

Twins<br \/>\nstarter, Donny Scott was dominating early on, recording the first 9 outs of<br \/>\nthe game all via the strikeout. The Snappers showed some character by not<br \/>\ngetting down and Andy Jackson was stingy, keeping the game close and giving<br \/>\nthe Snappers a chance. Todd Dawdy lead off the 7th with a solo HR to trim<br \/>\nthe lead to 3-2. Three consecutive singles loaded the bases for Kevin<br \/>\nNewhouse. On a 1-2 pitch Newhouse belted a grand slam deep to CF. That put<br \/>\nNiagara ahead for good as Jackson finished strong for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Game # 4<br \/>\nNiagara Snappers 7<br \/>\nKitchener Twins 5<br \/>\nWP: Dan Duemo (2-0)<br \/>\nSave: Rob Fawcett (1)<br \/>\nLP: Dan Stebbings (0-1)<\/p>\n<p>Niagara jumped out to an early 5-0 lead only to see the Twins battle back<br \/>\nand make a game of it.<\/p>\n<p>The Snappers open the ISC league with an impressive 3-1 record. All in all,<br \/>\na very surprising result considering this was Niagara&#8217;s first taste of top<br \/>\nlevel play. Going in to this weekend we were hoping to take 1 game from the<br \/>\nTwins. Winning 3 of the 4 games will boost the confidence of the team to<br \/>\nsay the least. The weekend was not all positive as the Snappers lost the<br \/>\nservices of lead off hitter and starting catcher Trevor Falk. Falk injured<br \/>\na knee during the first at bat in the first game of the weekend while<br \/>\nattempting to beat out an infield ground ball. At this time, it is unknown<br \/>\nwhen Trevor will return to the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>Next up for the Snappers are games #9 and #10 of the ISC travel league<br \/>\nschedule as they take on the Palermo Athletics at Memorial park in NOTL.<br \/>\nStart time for the first game is 7:15pm.<\/p>\n<p>Perry Bartley<br \/>\nNiagara Snappers<br \/>\nmisterpaulo@hotmail.com<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/eteamz.active.com\/niagarasnappers\/index.cfm?\">Snapper Web Site<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON The Niagara Snappers opened their ISC season with back to back double headers vs the Kitchener Hallman Twins.
