The Halifax Pelham Molson Canadians received a virtuoso pitching performance from lanky lefty, Brandon MacKinnon, as they nipped the Dartmouth Moosehead Dry 3-2 on a beautiful night for baseball at the Mainland Common. The Pelham Canadians touched Jeff Reeves for a run in the first inning on consecutive singles from Brandon Devlin, Jake and Josh Pelham. Then both pitchers settled in and were dominant until the bottom of the seventh when Halifax pushed across a pair. Steve Murphy singled and was sacrificed to second by Adam Gardner. Pat Gilbert drove Murphy home with a line drive double to the gap in left centre before scoring himself on a ringing double to the gap in right centre by Brandon Devlin. However, the Dry made it interesting in the top of the ninth inning as slugger Anthony McKinley led off with a solo blast over the fence in right centre. Dan Comeau followed with his third single of the evening before scoring on Matt Harding's double to right centre. MacKinnon reached back and fanned Justin Stephens, enticed Robert Gillis to ground back to the mound before getting Matt Doudelet on a ground out to Gilbert at short. The best of five series is now tied at a game each with game 3 slated to take place on Thursday night at Beazley Field beginning at 7:30.
