QUEBEC-The Berkshire Black Bears are having a hard time north of the border as the Quebec Le’Capitals beat them for the second game in a row Tuesday night in Quebec.
The final score was 8-3. While run production remains at a minimum, the bats seem to be coming alive. There were nine Black Bear hits with center fielder Curtis Goodwin and catcher Scott Allen banging out two each. Joe Kerrigan, Chris Vasquez, Chris Sawyer and Luis Mercedes all singled. The Black Bears got on the board in the sixth when Mercedes crossed the plate on a Curtis Goodwin double. Goodwin then stole third and scored on a Vasquez single to right field.
The other run came in the top of the ninth inning when Todd Brock homered. The Black Bears finish up the series tomorrow night in Quebec and then go to Allentown for a three game series with the Ambassadors before returning home Friday night against Elmira.
