Tecumseh, ON – The St. Clair College Men's Baseball team opened their season Saturday with a 7-1 loss but rebounded nicely turning the score around for a 7-1 win in the second game of the doubleheader with Durham College (Oshawa).
In the opener the St. Clair bats were quiet generating only 3 hits in the contest off Durham starter Alec Brown (Oshawa, ON) who went the distance. The Saints were able to open a 1-0 lead in the 3rd inning when Darian Gray (Kingsville, ON/Kingsville District) scored from 2nd base on a Durham fielding error. But Durham answered with a single in the 5th inning before getting 3 runs in each of the final two frames to put the game out of reach. Micah Harris (Cottam, ON/Essex District) took the loss for St. Clair on the mound in five innings of work surrendering 3 earned runs on 4 hits.
In game two the Saints were up to the task scoring 5 runs in the 3rd inning to take command and never looked back. St. Clair starter Garik Godard (Belle River, ON/Belle River District) only faltered slightly in the 4th inning yielding Durham's lone run. He spread out 4 hits while striking out 8 batters in five innings of work before being relieved. The Saints tacked on a pair of runs in the 6th inning to complete the scoring. Kevin Dion (Newmarket, ON) and Brendan Renaud (Amherstburg, ON/St. Thomas of Villanova) each had a pair of hits to pace the St. Clair attack. Dion and Roberto Duncan (Panama City, Panama) had the big blows at the plate driving in 5 RBI's between them.
