Niagara Falls Finals Game 2
Good game last night for game 2 of the Niagara Falls Men's League finals. Scott Wagar for Storms Fury vs Tom Berube for Cool Hand Lukes. Lukes comes out the winner and has Storms Fury facing elimination tonight. Back and forth game with the Fury striking fist in the T2. Ray Carr draws a leadoff walk and eventually scores with two outs on a pass ball. Lukes tie the game in the B2 on a Pat McLoy HR.
Lukes take a one run lead in the B3 when Scott Tweedie who reached earlier on a hit by pitch scores on a Jeff Kranyk ground out. The Fury respond in the T4, a Marcel Bilodeau walk eventually scores on a 2 out base hit by Mark Korten.
Lukes again takes the lead in the B5, Tweedie has a clutch two out single to score Ron Laschowski who had doubled earlier in the inning. The Fury down 3-2 have a bit of a rally going in the T6 and Mike Joseph relieves Berube and gets out the jam. In the T7, pinch hitter Tommy Watkinson leads off with a homerun to CF to tie the game setting the stage for B7 where Lukes walk off with the win. Leadoff hitter Will Parent gets things going with a single, an out later he is on third and the Fury decide to intentionally walk Tom Berube and Mark Hall to load the bases. With Pat McCloy at the plate and the Fury defense all in and with left fielder Adam Dearborn playing just behind second base, McCloy hits a fly ball just over the head of Dearborn that Dearborn catches spins and fires home but not in time to get the speedy Parent who slides in safely for the win.
Game time tonight is 6:30 pm and if necessary game 4 goes Monday night 7:30 pm
