DEFENSE HURTS PITTSFIELD IN SETBACK AGAINST QUEBEC

By CHAD COOPER

Special to PLANET VALENTI Sports

(QUEBEC, JUNE 3-4, 2011) — The Pittsfield Colonials committed a season-high seven errors leading to five unearned Quebec Capitales runs as the Colonials fell to the Capitales 10-8.

Trailing 1-0 heading into the second, the Colonials sent eight men to the plate in the frame, scoring three runs, the last one coming home on a drag bunt hit by Quentin Davis for a 3-1 Pittsfield edge.

The lead was short-lived, however, as Quebec scored two runs in the bottom of the second, thanks to two hits and a Pittsfield error. The Colonials wasted no time in getting the runs back and more. Leading off the top of the third, Jerod Edmondson doubled. That was followed by singles from Angel Molina and Billy Mottram to put Pittsfield up 4-3. Mottram’s single gave him an eight-game hitting streak. Two batters later, Scott Knazek tripled to center to score Molina and Mottram and put the Colonials up by three.

QUEBEC CHIPS AWAY

Quebec continued to chip away scoring runs in both the third and fifth to pull to within 6-5. Pittsfield would tack on a run in the seventh as Danny Bomback doubled in Quentin Davis, who singled to lead off the inning. Bomback’s double increased Pittsfield’s lead to 7-5. The Caps came right back in the bottom of the seventh to score three times and take the lead at 8-7.

KNAZEK’s DOUBLE TIES SEE-SAW GAME AT 8-8

The Colonials weren’t done, though, as Johnny Welch led off the top of the eighth by being hit by a pitch. Back-to-back wild pitches moved him to third with no outs. Scott Knazek came up and drilled a double to the leftfield wall, easily scoring Welch and tying the game at 8-8.

The Capitales would have the final, scoring two runs with two outs in the bottom of the eighth.

Anthony Sullivan (1-1) earned the win with 1.2 scoreless innings of relief. Yosandy Ibanez (0-1) took the loss for Pittsfield. Offensively, Scott Knazek drove in three runs for the Colonials while Quentin Davis led the attack with three hits for Pittsfield. The loss drops the C’s to 4-5 on the year. They are 0-2 on the road.

Game three of the series comes up on Saturday night with Pat Moran (0-1, 7.94) on the mound for Pittsfield against Bryan Rembisz (1-0, 0.00) for Quebec. Coverage on pittsfieldcolonials.com will begin at 6:45 p.m. with the Pittsfield Colonials pregame show in front of a 7:05 first pitch from Stade Municipal.
