The Snappers won the opener 1-0 on a 1 hit shutout from Byron Demoe.

single from outfielder Scott Young.
Demoe struck out 9 batters in posting the shutout, giving up just one single
to Riversharks third baseman Matt Kuhl.

In game 2, the Snappers grabbed an early 2-0 lead in the first when Young
drilled a 2 run triple.
However, in the bottom of the second, Mike Taylor tied it for the
Riversharks with an r.b.i. single. Taylor was caught in a rundown after his
hit and the length of the rundown allowed the second Orillia run to score.
In the third, Niagara took a 3-2 lead on a solo homer by shortstop Trevor
Falk over the left field fence.
Again, the Riversharks would tie the affair in the bottom of the third.
Centerfielder Steve Mullaly beat out an infield hit with 2 on to tie the
score at 3.
Orillia blew the game open with 5 runs in the bottom of the 5th.
Both starter Rob O'Brien and shortstop Brent Thompson had 2 run triples to
highlight the surge.
In the 6th, O'Brien had another r.b.i. to finish the game and give the
Riversharks a 9-3 victory.
With the doubleheader split, Orillia is now 28-5 & 1 overall on the season.
