CÔTE ST. LUC, Que. – Académie Baseball Canada (ABC) opened its fall season with a 6-2 victory over McGill in the first game of a baseball doubleheader, Saturday morning at Gary Carter Field in Trudeau Park.
ABC (1-0), a high-performance development program for elite players aged 16 to 19, only had four hits but took advantage of nine walks.
They capitalized on a pair of early rallies and never looked back. The visitors struck for two runs in the first inning, highlighted by an RBI groundout from Josue Gelinas and a sacrifice fly by Maxime Decarie. They tacked on two more in the third, when Xavier-Raphael Brault singled home a run and Decarie added another RBI hit, before pushing across two unearned runs in the sixth to build a 6-0 cushion
McGill (0-5) broke through in the bottom of the sixth. Radbod Yazdanfar stroked a double to right and scored on a bunt single by Gabriel Recque-Cruz. Moments later, William Durnford lined a single to left, cashing in Recque-Cruz to trim the deficit to 6-2. The Redbirds finished with six hits, including two from Yazdanfar, (2/3, R, RBI) but stranded 10 runners
Southpaw Eliott Malo (1-0) picked up the win for ABC, tossing two hitless innings in relief with four strikeouts. Lefthanded starter Thomas Côté-Collard threw two scoreless frames, while relievers Josh Theriault and Jerome Lucas closed it out.
McGill righthander Will Greer (0-1) started and was tagged with the loss, surrendering four runs – three earned – on three hits and six walks over five innings. Reliever Agastya Kushari provided two innings of no-hit relief with one strikeout and three walks
Final totals saw ABC score six runs on four hits with no errors and 13Â runners left on base, while McGill countered with two runs on six hits, one error and 15 stranded.
The teams were scheduled to square off again in Game 2 of the doubleheader at 2 p.m.
