Easton then advanced to second
when B. Knight took the walk and
scored the fifth run of the inning on
Conley’s hard single.
Walton failed to score in the
second inning but put three more
runs on the board in the third. S.
Knight again started the rally with a
stand-up double, followed by a
double by Lowes, double by
Roulston and a long-ground single
to centre by Easton.
In the fourth inning Walton scored
twice more when S. Knight hit his
second triple of the game to bring
home Rathwell and Upshall.
The final score after four innings
was 10-0 for Walton.
It was on to the last game of the
round-robin against Peterborough on
Saturday afternoon.
The Walton team held
Peterborough scoreless in the first
but had another great at bat. Walton
scored four runs out of seven batters.
An opening bunt by Robinson put
him on. He advanced on a single by
Roulston. McDonald stroked a
beauty double to score Robinson and
Roulston. Pinch runner Lowes, in
for McDonald, stole third then was
safe in a rundown at third on a
dropped third-stroke pitch thrown to
first. The batter, Easton, was safe at
first. B. Knight hit a long fly ball that
was dropped then was tagged out
trying to get the third, but not before
both runners had scored.
Walton held Peterborough off the
board until the fourth inning when
one run scored. Until that point
Conley had pitched a great three
innings facing 12 batters, striking
out six and allowing only three hits.
In the third inning Walton scored
three more runs by Conley earning
the walk. S. Knight pounded a long
fly ball to right for a double. Lowes
slashed a triple down the first base
line and Roulston slashed a double
down the third-base line to score
Conley, Knight and Lowes.
Walton added one more run in the
fourth when B. Knight got on with a
single and scored on Jackson’s triple
to centre field. Walton allowed one
more run in the fifth for a final score
of 8-2 for Walton.
They ended the round-robin with
three wins, giving up only five runs
in three games to finish fifth out of
32 teams.
The playoff round was Saturday
night. The opponents were the North
Bay Hoppers. Jackson pitched the
complete game giving up one run in
the first inning, then coming on
strong facing 16 batters, with nine
strikeouts, and five hits.
Walton again took advantage of a
great first inning hitting attack with
S. Knight starting off with a double
then Lowes hitting a line-drive down
the first base line, to score him.
Roulston stroked a long fly to right
field to score Lowes and a
centrefield bloop by McDonald
scored Roulston. A deep fly to right
field by B. Knight scored McDonald
to garner a four-run inning.
In the second McDonald hit a hard
drive that handcuffed the shortstop.
He advanced when Rathwell hit a
high chopper to shortstop again and
legged out the throw to be safe at
first. Singles by Neill and Conley
advanced McDonald to score before
the inning ended.
In the fourth inning, Easton hit a
lead-off triple and scored on a deep
fly ball before the inning ended.
The final score was 6-1 and the
Walton McGavin FS Master
Brewers advanced to the quarter
finals for the first time in their four-
year history of attending the
tournament.
Sunday morning brought an early
rise for the first game of the day at
8:30 a.m. The opposition was the
K.C. Trappers from Porquis
Junction. For the first time in the
tournament, Walton wasn’t home
team and they failed to score any
runs in the first inning.
K.D. did score three runs, then two
in the second.
The Walton team managed a run in
the fourth when Robinson’s single
bought in S. Knight after he
doubled. Another run scored when
Easton who had singled came home
from Jackson’s line drive to right
field. The final score was 5-2 for
K.C. and Walton’s weekend was
over.
The men did very well and B.
Knight was proud of the squad he
fielded for maybe the last time.
Rumblings of retirement echoed
from some of the team members so
they are very pleased with the result
of their 2007 play.
Walton’s Masters put on good show at tournament
