OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE
Québec City, QC - With a chance to advance, the Ottawa Titans were unable to stop the Québec Capitales on Saturday, falling 10-6 in Game Two of the Frontier League Division Series.
All started well for the visitors against the Frontier League Pitcher of the Year James Bradwell (ND, 0-0) - who walked three in the opening inning - as an infield single from Brendan O'Donnell put the Titans up 1-0.
Making his first career playoff start, CJ Blowers (loss, 0-1) battled through the opening two innings - seeing the bases left loaded in the first before a runner was left in scoring position in the second - as the Titans held the advantage.
In the third, the Capitales took the lead courtesy of back-to-back solo homers with one out from Kyle Crowl and Justin Gideon to pull ahead 2-1.
The Titans didn't let the setback phase them - as Peyton Isaacson and Christian Ibarra reached on singles in the fourth - seeing a sac bunt put two in scoring position.
Bradwell left after three and a third for left-hander Harley Gollert - who allowed both inherited runners to score on a Jackie Urbaez two-run single down the right-field line to put the Titans back in front at 3-2.
Looking for another answer - the Capitales got it with two on in the fifth - as Blowers left following four and a third. Right-hander Matt Dallas allowed a game-tying RBI double off the bat of Tommy Seidl - before a sinking liner from Anthony Quirion dropped in front of Lamar Briggs, then bounced over the left-fielder's head and rolled away. Quirion plated two on the triple - but on the throw-in, the ball hopped into the Titans dugout - sending Quirion in to score to make it 6-3.
In the sixth, David Glaude belted a two-run homer to right off Scott Prins - who then plunked Quirion later in the frame with the bases loaded, to make it 9-3.
The Titans attempted a late comeback - as Michael Fuhrman blasted a three-run shot to centre off Ruben Ramirez to make it a three-run game.
Before it was all said and done - Justin Gideon smashed his second homer of the game in the eighth to end the scoring.
AJ Wright went 0-for-1 with three walks - as Michael Fuhrman posted a two-hit night - while Jackie Urbaez and Aaron Casillas each singled and walked.
