Braves 14, Eagles 4
All the hype leading into Wednesday’s matchup between the Toronto High Park Braves and East Nepean Eagles turned into a bust at the Canadian Little League championships.
Both teams were 4-0 and a win by the Eagles would have given them top spot overall in the round robin and the No. 1 seed heading into the semifinals on Saturday.
The Braves had other ideas and sent a message with a 14-4 mercy rule victory as they scored four times in the bottom of the fifth to bring the game to a premature close.
At 5-0 the Braves can wrap up the top seed with a win today over the White Rock All-Stars from B.C. who are currently 4-1 following their 5-1 win over the Lethbridge SWLL Red Giants Wednesday afternoon.
Nepean’s Riley Maude (centre) was all concentration before the game got underway.
“We have to just forget about it,” said Michael Stremlaw, who pitched three innings in the loss and also hit a solo home run.
“They really scouted us well all week and took good notes and they were very amped for this game. Little disappointing, but they had one of their best games of the year. Nothing wrong with it, we just have to pick up our game.”
The Braves scored four times in the first inning and three times in the second and third before adding four more in the fifth.
David Gucciardi had four hits for the Braves but Samuel Dumper was the offensive catalyst with a pair of home runs and five runs batted in.
Nepean’s Adam Saleh shouts after landing safe at home plate with the Eagles’ second run after being down 7-1 in the first few innings.
“They are a really good team,” said Eagle coach Mike Crepin, who saw his team attempt to claw back into the game with two runs in the third inning and singles in the fourth and fifth.
“We’ve played them a lot over the past three or four years. We were clutching the bats and the gloves a little too tight and we certainly hoped it would have been a little more competitive.”
The Eagles have one game remaining in the round robin that ends Thursday as they face the Notre Dame de Grace Lynx from Montreal. The Lynx won their first game of the tournament Wednesday when they thumped the winless Moose Jaw All-Stars 11-3.
High Park’s David Calabrese lands safe at home plate despite efforts from Nepean’s Ben Anderson.
East Nepean, High Park and White Rock have all qualified for the semifinals on Saturday. The Glace Bay McDonald’s Colonials from N.S. will qualify as the fourth semifinalist if they defeat Moose Jaw on Thursday for their third straight win .
If they loose they can still make it through if the Lynx upset the Eagles.
The two winners on Saturday will meet in Sunday’s final with a berth at the Little League World Series on the line.
Michael Stremlaw (third from left) is congratulated by his Eagles’ teammates after putting them on the scoreboard finally early in the game.
