Friday 29th February 2008
Brisbane, Australia - Redlands
Note from Brett after the
game
Not too bad today
Still very sore
Swinging bat better though
Canada squares Exhibition
Series
Canada was running on all cylinders as both
the pitching and offense flexed their muscle in a 10-1 win over
Australia in the second exhibition game of this series
The Canadians collected fifteen hits to go along with four home
runs in this game which saw ten of the twelve players who saw
action get at least one hit
We got to see a lot of pitches tonight and this time we
were squaring up the baseball says Manager Terry Puhl
You could see that this team has a lot of power
Its going to be fun
The Canadian offense did not waste any time to put points on the
board
The first inning saw Canada put four runs on the board with the
help of a grand slam from Matt Rogelstad (New Westminster, BC)
The inning started with two straight walks to Adam Stern (London,
ON) and Stubby Clapp (Windsor, ON) and a single by Mike Saunders
(Victoria, BC) to load the bases
After Ryan Radmanovich (Calgary, AB) hit into a fielders
choice, Rogelstad belted the grand slam to put Canada in front
4-0
Today, guys got a lot of good swings says Stern, who
was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run
Now its going to be getting timing down, getting to
hit the breaking balls and off speed stuff, because thats
going to be our biggest challenge when you dont have a lot
of time to prepare
After increasing the lead to 5-0 on a RBI single from Radmanovich
in the second inning, the Canadians scored two more runs in the
third inning on a two-run homer by Nick Weglarz (Stevensville,
ON), making it 7-0
I had a pretty good approach, slowed it down and it went
good says Weglarz, who was 2-for-4 including a double
It was a 3-1 knuckle ball that didnt break, got it
up and it went
The score would be 7-1 going into the seventh inning when Saunders
hit a solo home run to bring the lead back to seven runs
Stern would complete the scoring in the eighth inning with his
two-run knock
Right now, results are good but you want to get comfortable,
get ready to hit and today happened to be a good day says
Stern
I still want to see more off speed stuff, but it was one
of those things that all of a sudden clicked and I was ready to
go
As for the pitchers, they held the Aussie offense in check all
night
It started with Jamie Richmond (Mississauga, ON), who threw two
no-hit innings, allowing only two walks with a pair of strikeouts
Not bad for the first time out
I didnt feel great, but it I think it went good says
Richmond
Jamies been pitching with a lot of confidence really
early says Puhl
He did well for us at the World Cup and hes going
to be a big part of our pitching staff
Jonathan Lockwood (Toronto, ON) followed with a solid two innings
of his own, allowing one run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts
Alexandre Periard (St. Eustache, QC) and T.J. Burton (Ottawa,
ON) combined to close out the Canadian side on the mound, giving
up only a walk with one punch out in three innings of work
Canada will do battle with Australia in the third game of the
exhibition series on Saturday, March 1st at 7.00 pm
