Game Summary: Sooners Eliminate the Wildcats! Kentville opened the scoring in the 2nd inning as Tyler Fancy singled, Codey Shrider doubled then Brandon MacKay singled in a run. Jason Pleasant-Sampson sac-bunted for 2-0 lead. The Sooners cut the lead to 2-1 in the 4th inning following a lead off error, Cory Christie single, Phil Brown sac-bunt, Mike Tobin walk and Justin Brewer rbi ground out. The Cats loaded the bases up in the bottom of 4th inning as Tyler Fancy, Brandon MacKay and Jason Pleasant-Sampson all singled but did not score as 3 runners were stranded. Pitchers, Alex Ostrov (Kentville) and Sheldon MacDonald (Sydney) then controlled things until the 9th inning when the intensity picked up again. Sydney lead off the top of the 9th with a Cory Christie lead off single, Phil Brown doubled, Justin Brewer tied the game with an rbi ground out for a 2-2 game. Johnny MacLeod doubled down the left field line for the go ahead 3-2 run while Justin Brewer was cut down at the plate. In the bottom of the 9th Codey Shrider leadoff and reached on an infield error, however, eventually picked off at first base on a failed Brandon MacKay bunt attempt to advance him. MacKay ended up striking out, with two outs pinch hitter, Dryden Schofield hit a single but the game ended on a Ted Higa ground out to end the game and season for the Cats. Tough luck losing pitcher, Alex Ostrov gave up 3 of the 4 Sydney hits in the final inning. Meanwhile, the Kentville offence sputtered throughout by hitting into 3 double-plays.
