 The Diamondbacks lost 12-2 to the Kelowna Jays and 8-3 to the Kamloops Sun Devils in OMBL playoff action Saturday at Marhsall Field.
Kelowna used a seven-run first inning to stop the D-Backs. CJ Galozo scored both Vernon runs with Josh Wade smacking a double. Errors cost the D-Backs versus the Sun Devils with Pete Ortman pitching well and allowing just two earned runs in five-plus innings. Galozo had two hits and scored twice again.
Kamloops beat Kelowna 3-2 in the final, in extra innings, on a bases-loaded walk. Provincials are this weekend in Kelowna.

For the past month the Vernon Diamondbacks have been on the wrong end of some lopsided scores. Sloppy defense, poor hitting, and mediocre pitching haven't amounted to many positives for the team. During their annual 3 game set against the Trail Orioles this past weekend however, they started to turn things around. Game 1 on Saturday saw Peter Ortman take the hill for the D-backs, and after giving up 2 first inning runs, he would settle down and throw a complete game, scattering 7 hits while striking out 6. The D-backs would get 1 run back in the 4th after Ryan Boe got hit with a pitch, advanced to 2nd on an error, and scored on Jason Webster's first RBI of the season. After that, the D-backs would get shut down the rest of the game, falling 2-1.
In Game #2 the D-backs would go down 10-0 falling victim to the long ball as Trail scored 6 runs on 3 homeruns. On offence, the Diamondbacks would get a bunt single from Peter Ortman but that would be all.
The third game was played bright and early Sunday morning as the two teams squared off for a 7:45 start. Vernon gave up a run in each of the 2nd and 3rd innings, with the latter coming on a solo homerun. The D-backs then clawed back with a run in the 4th, as well as two in the top of the 5th as Jared Sochan, Tyler Gertzen and Kyle Anderson all had RBI's. Trail would find a way to jump back out on top, as Kyle Mace launched a 2-run homer to right to take the lead back. In the 7th, Vernon would load the bases with 2 outs but a questionable strike 3-call would end the ball game. Ryan Boe pitched well for the Diamondbacks, scattering 6 hits during a complete game effort. |
