BAYCATS DROP SECOND STRAIGHT IN LOSS TO LONDON

BARRE — An early game pitchers duel turned into a 7-3 defeat at the hands of the London Majors for the Barrie Baycats. With the loss, Barrie finishes their 4-game season-opening home stand at 2-2. 

The game started off great as the Baycats would get the game's first run on a sac fly from Adam Odd. Baycats starter Emilis Guerrero pitched well, giving up 4 runs but only 2 earned with 6 strikeouts through 6 innings. Guerrero was the losing pitcher in the game (1).

Unfortunately, those 4 runs in the 6th inning were the difference. It started with a 2-run home run by Majors outfielder Starling Joseph. An out and 2 base runners later, Daniel Battel drove in 2 with a double to make it 4-1.

The Baycats bullpen kept the game close in the 7th and 8th innings with Adam Khan and Brandon Hillier each tossing scoreless frames. The offense got the Cats within a run in the 6th after two run-scoring doubles by Adam Odd and Dom Morea.

But in the 9th, London would grab 3 big add-on runs thanks to a solo home run by Keith Kandel and a 2-run home run by Eduardo de Oleo. The Majors hit 3 home runs en route to victory.

Other than a few errors early on, Barrie’s defense was amazing late in the game. Adam Odd who was good offensively made some great charging plays at shortstop. Dom Morea also had a nice play making a diving stop to rob Tommy Reyes Cruz.

Edisson Gonzalez was the winning pitcher for the London Majors making him 1-1 on the season. Braeden Ferrington picked up the save (1). 

With the home stand complete, your Barrie Baycats are off to Hamilton tomorrow to face the Cardinals. The first pitch is at 2:05 pm at Bernie Arbour Memorial Stadium. You can listen to the game on Baycats Radio: Exclusively on Baycats TV or buy road tickets Here.
