Can-Am League Game Recaps
August 19, 2014 - Canadian American League (Can-Am) News Release
Quebec 6, Trois-Rivieres 1
Quebec right-hander Shawn Sanford held Trois-Rivieres to one run on five hits in seven innings, and the Capitales beat the Aigles, 6-1. Sanford struck out three and walked one before relievers Ryan Leach and Jay Johnson entered, keeping the Aigles hitless in the eighth and ninth.
At the plate, the Capitales got started in the first inning, when leadoff hitter Matt Helms singled and later scored on an RBI double from 3B Balbino Fuenmayor, the Can-Am League leader in RBIs with 84. Helms, who is hitting .327 this season, batted 4-for-5 Monday night, scoring twice. SS Jonathan Malo also had an excellent day, going 3-for-4.
In the second, CF Yuniesky Gurriel hit a two-run homer to make it 3-0, and the Capitales added three more in the bottom of the sixth -- on an RBI single by RF Asif Shah and a two-RBI single from DH Rene Leveret -- to seal the win.
Rockland 4, Fargo-Moorhead 3
The Rockland Boulders survived a bumpy ninth inning to take down the RedHawks, 4-3.
The Boulders led 4-1, heading to the ninth, when closer Chad Robinson entered and walked the first two batters he faced. Fargo-Moorhead 2B Frank Salerno made it 4-3 with a two-RBI double, but Robinson got the final two outs to convert the save.
Rockland starter Richard Salazar struck out seven in seven innings, allowing one run on five hits to pick up the win -- his ninth of the year.
The Boulders took the lead in a three-run bottom of the fourth, getting RBI singles from 1B Jerod Edmondson, DH Stephen Cardullo and C Marcus Nidiffer. Cardullo led the Boulders with three hits, and Edmondson had a team-high two RBIs, with his second coming on an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth.
For the RedHawks, SS Zach Penprase and CF Nic Jackson each had two hits, and Jackson plated the team's first run in the top of the sixth on an RBI triple.
Winnipeg 6, New Jersey 0
Winnipeg right-hander Ethan Hollingsworth threw a complete-game two-hitter, shutting out the New Jersey Jackals in a 6-0 win.
Hollingsworth (7-1, 3.63 ERA) struck out five and walked one in his first shutout of the season.
The Goldeyes provided plenty of run support for Hollingsworth early, scoring six runs in the first five innings.
In the bottom of the first, CF Reggie Abercrombie singled home a run, and Winnipeg scored two more in the second on RF Ryan Pineda's solo homer and 3B Jake Blackwood's dash to the plate on a wild pitch. Blackwood and DH Casey Haerther led the Goldeyes with three hits each.
The Goldeyes kept it going in the fourth, scoring two on SS Tyler Kuhn's RBI single and an RBI groundout from Abercrombie, who went 2-for-5 with two RBIs. C Luis Alen rounded out the scoring with a solo homer in the bottom of the fifth.
