From Dennis Dosman

Editor’s note: A good batch of information from the Ontario province and thereabouts, from Dennis Dosman:

First of all…..I sent a note out last week to many of you about our good pal, former TienHoa and Waterloo Twin coach Doug Davies saying that he was in London’s University hospital for surgery. Doug’s daughter Jen has been keeping some of us informed…and the latest I have is that he is still in ICU with hope that he will soon be released to a floor…prayers and well wishes to one of fastball’s finest….

Editor’s note: Cap tip to Blair Setford for getting the word out about the Ballparkradio broadcast of the championship game today. We were experimenting with a cellular wireless card for our broadcasts, and decided to turn out “test” into a regular broadcast. We were pleased with the results, in that it delivered a solid, stable connection with good sound quality. This bodes well for our ability to broadcast from locales without a permanent internet connection. We welcome additional feedback on the signal and sound quality from anyone that tuned in today.

The total prize money was dispersed as following:

DIVISION WINNERS will receive $600. These include Niagara Snappers, Elmira Expos, Alvinston Indians and Waterdown Hammer.

2nd PLACE IN DIVISION will receive $350. These include Quyon Flyers, Hill United, Jarvis Travelers and Palermo Athletics.
