Thursday, game 3's "If Necessary"


September 27th , 2024
Last night was the Final Game of the Durham Men's Fastball League Playoffs 2024
The Game featured the Oshawa Bombers(2) and Oshawa Wranglers(1) in the third game in the best of three series.
All games plaued at Oshawa's Alexandra Park.
The score was tied at 0-0 until the bottom of the third inning when Austin Mullen(lf) drew a walk on a full count to lead off the inning. He was retired when the Bombers made a 6 - 4 out. Steve Visser(3b), the fielder's choice runner, scored on a double by leadoff batter Jay Best(cf) and he scored when Matt Dasilva(ss) hit an rbi double, 2 - 0 Wranglers. Bomber's pitcher Ryan Swift was relieved by Chris Ramoutar in the bottom of the 6th. With two out Wrangler's Will Macavelia(c) tripled and was sent home by Matt Davis'(p) single as they won the DMFL Playoff Championship, 3 - 0 Wranglers.
Davis was strong in the circle giving up only 4 hits while striking out 12.
The Bombers played a great defensive game but couldn't get their bats going. Jeff Drinkle(rf, 2b) was their top batter as he went 1/3, with a double. Chris Ramoutar(p), Kyle Wingrove(3b) and Nav Seelochand(lf) were 1/3.  Drinkle advanced to third base but was stranded there after a F7 and a K.
A very clean game that took 1.5 hours.
Final score again 3 - 0 Wranglers making them the 2024 DMFL champions.
