to him early. He gave up 5 runs in the first inning
on 5 singles and a triple. He came back with a
three up and three down second though. DJ Lussier
followed on the mound giving up only 2 runs in 5
strong innings of relief. Meanwhile, Sarnia fought
back on offence with a run in the second and five of
their own in the fourth followed by two in the
fifth. At the end of the seven regulation innings
the game was tied at 8 so an extra inning was
required. Richard McIntosh came in to pitch for
Sarnia, giving up 1 on a walk, stolen base and a
double before closing out the Oakridge half of the
inning at bat. The Braves came to bat requiring one
run to tie and two to win. They managed a lead off
single by Matt Szabo but could not drive him in when
the following three batters recorded outs preserving
the 9-8 win for Oakridge. Devin Butler highlighted
Sarnia's offence with a double and two singles in
the game as well as a run scored. Kyle Adams also
had a single and a triple in the game scoring two
runs and driving in a run.
