The Battalion got off to a rocky start before the game even started, as 2 separate starting pitchers were not able to start. Evan Hammond stepped up in the emergency start, 4 minutes before first pitch. Being the home team, Hammond had no time to warm up and was thrust straight into the action.

He once again didnt have great defensive help behind him and allowed 3 runs, on 2 hits. Brent Daviault was able to get ready in a hurry and came in for the second. He kept the Battalion in the game with an outstanding effort. His final line was 5IP, 2H, 2K, 0BB, 0R. Joey Moskwa came in for the final inning and got out of a bases loaded, one out jam on a slick double play turned by Kyle Craig and Steve Renaud.

The offence was kept at bay by NCBL veteran Bobby Brooks who threw 6 strong innings. The Battalion were only able to muster 3 hits all game. They were able to make a game of it as Ryan Dillon hit a 2 out, 2 run single to cut the lead to 3-2. Kevin Brunet came on for the save and got the Battalion to go 1-2-3.

Overall a well pitched and strong defensive game for the Battalion. Just cant seem to have the bats show up on the same day as the gloves.

They are back at it on Tuesday against the Panthers.

WP: Brooks (1-1)
LP: Hammond (0-2)

The Bytown Battalion came into the game with a all time record of 0-2-1 against the Ponies. Things did not start off great for the Battalion, as their first inning woes continued, as they allowed another 4 in the first, pushing their yearly total up to 11 runs in the first 3 games. However, the bats bailed out the slow start, outscoring Kingston 16-2 over the final 6 innings on a cold and rainy night.

Braden McGinnis got his first career Tier 1 start on the mound, allowing 6 runs (2 earned), over 3IP, only allowing 1 hit. Joey Moskwa made his NCBL debut in the top of the 4th. Moskwa pitched 2 scoreless innings before walking the first 3 of the 6th inning. Moskwa finished his 2IP with 3Ks and 0 hits allowed. Eitan Maoz came in with the bases loaded and 0 out and struck out the 2nd hitter he faced before getting a double play ball up the middle to limit the damage to 1 run.

Heading into the bottom of the 6th the Battalion were down 7-6. At the end of the 6th they were ahead 16-7. A massive 10 run inning was led off by an infield single by Battalion newcomer, Sam McIntosh. McIntosh went 2-for-3 with 2 RBIs in his Battalion debut. Back-to-back walks loaded the bases for Evan Hammond who came up clutch, dumping a single into rightfield, scoring the tying run. Defending MVP Steve Renaud came up next and promptly scored 2 more on a line drive single.

Veteran Ryan Dillon got his 10th career NCBL home run in the bottom of the 4th, sparking a 4 run rally.

The Battalion and Ponies combined to use 33 players and 8 pitchers.

The Battalion are right back at it Friday night as they take on the newcomers in the RiverHawks.
