Announcement
Congratulations to Taggart's Welding who defeated Mattamy Homes by scoring a run in the top of the 7th and holding on for a 5-4 victory to claim the tournament championship.
The "B" trophy went to Broadway Bar & Grill Stittsville who defeated Trend-Arlington 14-1.
All in all it was a great weekend, with good fastball weather, nice facilities, and highly competitive games. Of the 18 round-robin and 6 playoff games played, there were no games ended early due to the "mercy" rule.
A big thanks to:
- The Broadway Bar & Grill in Stittsville for sponsoring our tournament and hosting our pub night on Friday. The tournament trophy is on display at Broadway's and will soon have a plaque added to it for the 2010 winners.
- Combat Sports for donating a Gear Afflicted bat as a door prize for our Friday pub night.
- Our two non-league teams: Blackburn and Trend-Arlington. Having 12 teams made for a much better schedule, and both teams played great ball and were very competitive.
- Geoff Lathem and the Huntley Community Association for the use of their excellent facilities and the grooming of the diamonds each day.
- All of the players and fans who helped keep the park free of litter - that goes a long way toward giving the league a good reputation with the community association and the residents around the ball park.
- The men in blue for working through the Saturday morning rain and the Sunday afternoon heat.
- Jeff Legge for organizing things including looking after the Combat draw on Friday night and making sure the league equipment was taken care of.
