Manchester Routs Montreal
MONTREAL – The Manchester Monarchs marched into the Churchwell Dome as considerable underdogs. Yet, after nine innings, they emerged victorious following a 9-1 thumping of the Montreal Flatliners. Manchester (1-0) capped the game off with an 8-run ninth inning to break a one-to-one tie that had been in effect since the sixth inning.
The scoring started in the second inning when the Monarch’s Jess Raap hit a 390 foot homer to right field off of Shaun Margetson. Montreal (0-1) evened it up in the sixth after John Mason hit a deep fly ball that scored Matthew Kuhl. Kuhl opened the inning with a triple down the right field line.
In the ninth, the Flatliners pulled Shaun Margetson and brought in James Rivera. Rivera proceeded to get lit up by the Monarchs offense. Hit followed hit, and Manchester built an insurmountable 9-1 advantage. The two teams play again on Tuesday from the Churchwell Dome.
