BLUE JAYS TIE BRAVES, FORCE 7TH GAME
What a series!!... Chicopee won the first three games... and now Tuckanarra has come back and evened the series with three successive victories... the Blue Jays took game six 4-3 at home at Central Park Stadium... young Junior Bristow held the Brave bats to 3 runs, though he was tapped for 10 hits... Bristow (1-1/2.65) had 3 Ks and walked just one, while going all the way... this time around he outpitched Ryan Ledbetter (1-1/2.81), who also went the distance, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts.
2B Todd Goodwin (.360) got the Braves started with a 2-run double in the first... but the Blue Jays came right back with a run in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single by C Timmy Stevens (.375) and then took the lead 4-2 in the second frame on 3B Narra Gilyinju's (.273) 2-run two-bagger and Junior Bristow's (.000) RBI grounder... in the sixth Chicopee cut the lead to 4-3 on doubles by 3B Cooter Whitter (.250) and C Charley Barnes (.273)... but Bristow stiffened after that and blank the Braves the rest of the way.
Game seven will also be in Tuckanarra tomorrow afternoon... both clubs will have their aces on the mound... it will be Byron Wilson (18-6/2.94) for Chicopee and Bobby Reid (20-12/2.49) for Tuckanarra... Wilson was victorious over Reid in game one 10-5, while game four was a no-decision for both of them, which Tuckanarra won 5-3 in 13 innings.
