Vancouver Challenge Friday Night

Friday, July 25, 2008

GAME 1

Vancouver Grey Sox     8   11   0

South Hill Giants          0     2   1

 

5 innings

 

WP Mike Piechnik and Kevin Rasmussen

LP Craig Pidcock and Tyler Werboski

 

Umpires:

 

Plate - Kevin Wallace - Shipman, Illinois

1st Base - Dan Young - Surrey, BC

3rd Base - Greg Pohl - St. Louis, Missouri

 

Good size crowd in attendance for the opening game tonight here in Vancouver on a pleasant night with a temperature around 20 degrees ( 72F), partly cloudy skies and no humidity.

 

The ageless 47-year old Mike Piechnik was in top form and had all of his pitches working tonight giving up just two hits. After the game Mike was here in the press box and commented that his breaking ball was really on the move in this game. We can all attest to his curve ball tonight and the fans were equally impressed.

 

Game two is currently underway between the Horse Lake Thunder and the South Hill Giants and after three innings of play, the South Hill Giants have a 1-0 lead over Horse Lake.

 

John Bishop is pitching for the Giants and Sonny Perkins is hurling for Horse Lake.

GAME 2

Vancouver South Hill Giants    5  5  1

Horse Lake Thunder               2  4  3

 

Umpires:

 

Plate - Ron Brinkman - Appleton, Wisconsin

1st Base - Don Martin - Coquitlam, BC

3rd Base - Rick Powers - Victoria, BC

 

WP  John Bishop and Tyler Werbowski

LP   Karl Gollan (5th) and Chad Ghostkeeper in relief of Sonny Perkins and (Robert Bomberry)

 

Cooler temperatures prevailed in the second game of the night but the crowd remained as both games were played in under an hour and a half.

 

Horse Lake tied the game on a close call at the plate (passed ball) to make it 2 - after six innings.

 

International tiebreaker was implemented to decide the contest. The Giants scored 3 unearned runs on a ball hit to right field that was lost in the lights.

 

Further game reports to follow..........
