Boulders Take Quebec To 12 Innings, But Lose Third Straight Game

Capitales for 8-7 win.

Keith Brachold’s first homer as a Boulder looked to be a big one, as his 12th-inning blast gave Rockland a 7-4 lead, but an error opened the door for a four-run rally and a Quebec Capitales 8-7 win Saturday night. The Boulders (0-3), will now look to salvage the finale of the set as the teams will play again this afternoon before the Boulders head back to Provident Bank Park in Pomona for their home opener on Tuesday, May 22. Les Capitales hit the board in the opening frame off Rockland starter Pat Moran as Jonathan Malo singled, stole second, and eventually scored on a Sebastian Boucher sac fly. Quebec added two in the second, aided by a Ryan Mollica error. A Josue Peley RBI double and a sacrifice fly by Paul Karmas put the hosts up by a …

Boulders Shut Out In Second Game Against Quebec

Rockland falls 13-0, Velasquez gets loss after working 5 innings.

Game two of the Rockland Boulders’ season-opening series in Quebec was one to forget. The host Capitales rapped out 13 hits in an 13-0 victory. Jon Velasquez worked five innings and took the loss for Rockland, which fell to 0-2 on the young season. The teams will play again today and Sunday before the Boulders return to Provident Bank Park in Pomona for their home opener on Tuesday, May 22. Velasquez looked strong early, retiring six straight – three on strikeouts – after a leadoff walk as the teams were scoreless through two. Quebec broke through with two in the third on the strength of three straight doubles, with Jeff Jelps and Jonathan Malo driving in runs.

Boulders Fall Short In Season-Opener Loss to Quebec

Matt Nandin slams 3-run homer for Rockland, but Capitales rally to take 7-3 win.

Matt Nandin crashed a three-run homer and Bobby Blevins fanned six but the host Quebec les Capitales rallied to take a 7-3 victory over the Rockland Boulders in the 2012 Can-Am League season opener at Le Stade Municipal Thursday night.

The DSD's Weekly Poll

Should Girls Be Allowed to Compete in Boys Sports?

An Arizona high school baseball team forfeited a game to avoid playing against a girl.

The National League was founded in February of 1876, and since the senior circuit kicked off baseball in this country women have gained equal rights and made a huge impact on the sports landscape both in the United States and abroad. Recently a story came out of Arizona where Our Lady of Sorrows Academy forfeited a state championship game, refusing to play Mesa Prep solely because the team’s starting second basemen is a girl.

Not only did Sulzbach make the team but she is the squad’s starting second basewoman. Out of respect for Our Lady of Sorrows, Sulzbach sat out during Mesa Prep’s …
