Ontario uses six Manitoba errors to prevail in win
August 25, 2006
TIGNISH - The ONtario Twins took advantage of six costly Manitoba Black Sox errors as they improved to 2-0 here with a 7-2 win on day two of the 2006 Greco Baseball Canada Midget Nationals at Aces Diamond in Tignish. Ontario had just four hits in the game while the Sox had five, but it was untimely errors in the infield and outfield that proved to be the menace for Manitoba on this day. Manitoba will now face Nova Scotia tonight in Summerside at 7 p.m. Brandon Neuman hit a three run home run to power the Twins attack, while scoring twice in the game in three at bats. Ian Campbell (1-3, run scored, RBI) and pinch hitter Sean Lemon (1-1) were the others to get a hit. For Manitoba, Patrick Marion (2-3, run scored), Kellen Burman (1-3, RBI), Vivek Elimban (1-3, RBI) and Daniel Perron (1-3). Winning pitcher was Billy Matin who allowed one run on three hits while fanning seven batters. Eric Wakeman came on in relief for one inning walking one and striking out one. Losing pitcher was Jean Michel Habbeck who went five innings allowing seven runs on three hits, walking six and striking out two batters. (Pat Healey)
