GAME NOTES
Tempers Flared & Benches Cleared In Bottom of the 1st Inning = Players & Coach Ejected
NL Galway Hitmen left-fielder Mathieu Roy led-off the inning with a walk, Roy stole second base, Roy advanced to third base on a wild pitch, With 1-Out: center-fielder Brad Ezekiel walked, Roy tried to score on a pass ball and BC Sooke Loggers catcher Kyle Cowick got to the ball and tossed to pitcher Scott Lieph covering the plate and Roy slid home and knocked Lieph over and the ball loose on the play and Cowick went after Roy and then the benches cleared and a donnybrook ensued. After the dust settled and after some discussion by the umpires 3 players and 1 coach were ejected. NL Galway Hitmen LF Mathieu Roy & 3B Blair Ezekiel, along with Coach Mark Dwyer and BC Sooke Loggers C Kyle Cowick were all ejected from the game.
Words Exchanged Again In Bottom of the 2nd Inning, Batter Hit = Pitcher Ejected
NL Galway Hitmen designated player Jason Hill led-off the inning with a Solo Home Run to centerfield and the next batter catcher Ryan Boland took a couple of pitches inside and was eventually Hit-By-Pitch and Boland was not pleased and decided to voice his displeasure to BC Sooke Loggers pitcher Scott Lieph. Lieph was ejected from the game as a result of hitting Ryan Boland.
