KINSTON, N.C. - The Down East Bird Dawgs were held to two runs on two hits in a 9-2 loss to the Québec Capitales Wednesday morning, as Capitales starter Braeden Allemann carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and three Québec home runs proved too much to overcome, dropping Down East to 1-4 on the young season.
Chavez Young got Québec on the board early with an RBI groundout in the first inning. The Capitales extended their lead to 4-0 in the third when Kyle Crowl singled in two runs and later scored on a Down East error.
Québec continued to pour it on in the fifth as Young connected on a two-run home run and Ruben Castro added a solo shot, pushing the lead to 7-0. Eddie Hacopian doubled in a run in the sixth to make it 8-0
Down East finally broke through later in the sixth on an RBI groundout from Christian Adams and a sacrifice fly by Jacob Corson to cut it to 8-2.
Arturo De Freitas capped the scoring with a solo homer in the eighth to set the final at 9-2.
Bird Dawgs starter Axel Andueza (0-1) took the loss, allowing three earned runs on five hits over three innings with two walks and two strikeouts.
Allemann (1-0) was dominant for Québec, holding Down East hitless until the sixth before finishing with 5â..." innings, two runs allowed, one walk, and seven strikeouts.
The Bird Dawgs (1-4) look to avoid the sweep Thursday, May 14, at 11 a.m. against the Québec Capitales (3-2) in another School Day game at Historic Grainger Stadium.
