RIt is hardly surprising, therefore, in the fact that the winning point was scored after four balls drawn by Alexandre Lapointe at the end of the fifth inning.
The reliever Josua Ouellet (winning pitcher) finally recorded the last out, thus completing an ordeal of more than three hours and punctuated by 21 walks.
Warriors manager Malcolm Gardner didn’t seem sorry to move on around 11:15 pm.
“Offensively, I would say we were pretty timely scoring 21 points on 12 hits. But it’s true that at the mound, it was painful on both sides, to stay polite… ”, he commented.
Bullets and mistakes
From Tyler Bawart to Kevin Griffin, including Louka Leduc and Raphaël Delisle (losing pitcher), the card gunners of the Cards had an evening to forget.
But it must be said that the first two launchers used by the Warriors hardly did any better.
Jérémie Beaunoyer’s first start at the elite junior level was already over after two heats. The right-hander allowed six strokes and five runs in the second but, to his credit, his teammates were unable to perform routine plays in the infield. With two errors on the scoreboard, the verdict is rather lenient.
Charles-Antoine Foisy and Benjamin Boily meanwhile allowed the visitors to tie the game 11-11 by allowing five points in the fifth inning.
“I still sent several young people who don’t have a ton of experience on the hill tonight,” said Gardner. They found themselves in difficult situations, but we came out as a team. At the risk of repeating myself, we were really saved by our stick. ”
Several hitters have also taken advantage of the largesse at the mound to inflate their personal statistics. For what it’s worth, Gabriel Ménard and Nicolas Tremblay led the Granbyan attack with four products each. Ryan Bawart was the only Card player to generate two points.
If Beaunoyer got the start, it is especially since Samuel Robichaud is currently unable to throw due to a shoulder injury. Malcolm Gardner, however, was not ready to confirm the echoes that the Granbyen season would be over.
“We are watching the situation carefully, and we hope to be able to give more details soon.”
The Guerriers will resume action in Coaticook on Thursday evening. We can only wish a better match to the spectators present …
Beavers on forced leave
While the specialized sites announced heavy showers on Tuesday evening, we were finally able to play baseball in Granby. The games planned for Montreal and Saint-Eustache (once again!) Have instead been postponed to a later date.
The meeting which was to oppose the Castors and the Cardinals in Saint-Jérôme was also postponed in the Quebec Major League Baseball. If manager Denis Lamontagne keeps his plans intact, left-hander André Lagarde could make his Acton Vale debut on Friday against the Sherbrooke Expos.
