Can-Am League recap 7-4-05
July 4, 2005 - Canadian American League (Can-Am) News Release
NORTH SHORE 4, QUEBEC 1 @ Lynn, Mass. Time: 2:01 ATT: 1,030 W: Ryan Bicondoa (3-3) L: Min Soo Kim (3-4) S: None HR: NS - Travis Oglesby (11), Alex Trezza (6)
Ryan Bicondoa pitched extravagantly, notching a complete-game victory in North Shore's 4-1 win over Quebec. Bicondoa allowed only one hit, a single to 1B Todd Leathers in the second. Bicondoa allowed a run on a sac fly in the same inning, but regrouped and pitched hitless baseball the rest of the way, striking out seven Capitales. DH Travis Oglesby and C Alex Trezza each homered in the second consecutive game for North Shore, with Trezza's solo shot immediately following Oglesby's three-run blast in the first. That would be all the support Bicondoa needed to finish off the slumping Capitales.
NEW JERSEY 9, ELMIRA 2 @ Little Falls, N.J. Time: 2:49 ATT: 1,005 W: Joel Bennett (2-0) L: Saul Solveson (1-6) S: None HR: None
Zach Smithlin was 3-for-5 with a triple, a stolen base and four runs driven in to lead New Jersey past Elmira 9-2. 2B Ricardo Cordova also had an impressive night for the Jackals, driving in two and stealing a base with a 2-for-2 night, including a triple. Starter Joel Bennett kept the Pioneers at bay, allowing just one earned run on five hits over seven innings, striking out seven. SS Ryan Dorsey led Elmira with a double and a run, finishing 2-for-3.

3B Jake Daubert helped the Rox jump out to an early lead, and "Oil Can" Boyd held the Grays' offense in check en route to a 7-2 Brockton win. Boyd collected his first win for Brockton, allowing just two runs on six hits over seven innings, striking out five. Daubert singled in two runs during a three-run Rox first, then added a solo homer in the eighth. The Grays scored all of their runs on a fifth inning homer by CF Greg Strickland.
