INDIANS ESCAPE GAME 1 WITH WIN
The Alvinston Indians drew first blood in the best of
five semi-final series against the Glencoe Astros last
night in Glencoe for game 1 in the series. This game
was a game for the fans, as the Indians closed the game
out with a 3-2 thrilling victory in 10 innings.
Glencoe opened the scoring, by counting an unearned run
in the first inning off of Indians hurler John
Ferguson. But Ferguson would get back to work, tossing
4 and 2/3 shutout innings, before being replaced by Brad
Young for the final out in the sixth inning. Glencoe
clung to a 1-0 lead until the top of the sixth inning,
when Joe Triest came around to score to tie the game on
a clutch 2 out and 2 strike hit up the middle by Theo
Metron, followed by a close play at home, but Triest was
ruled safe. Both teams would fail to score in their
halves of the seventh inning, which set the game up for
the International tie-breaker rule in the 8 inning.
Alvinston was able to take the lead in their half of the
8th, when Steve Donald scored on a 2 out RBI single by
Chris Drew. However, Glencoe would tie the game again,
when Greg Eichenberger scored on a RBI single by Mark
Johnson. Both teams would fail to score in the ninth
inning, which set the game up for a thrilling end in the
10th inning. Andy Triest would eventually drive in Jeff
Ingram for the game's winning run, as Alvinston and
pitcher Brad Young shut the door against Glencoe in
their half of the 10th, to preserve the 3-2 win.
Winship was strong for Glencoe, suffering the loss on
the mound, scattering 8 hits over 10 innings, while
fanning 13 Alvinston swingers. John Ferguson for
Alvinston allowed 1 hit and 4 walks, and 1 unearned run
to give the Indians a shot. Ferguson struckout 5
Astros, in 5 2/3 innings pitched. Brad Young came in in
relief to earn the eventual win, tossing 4 1/3 innings,
allowing 2 hits, while fanning 7.
Game 2 of the series goes Friday in Alvinston, beginning
at 8:00pm.
