[ALLENTOWN, PA.] — Jeff Ellsworth of Alberton continued his recent torrid hitting, but it wasn’t enough as his Orillia Quaker Riversharks fell 4-3 to Patsy’s of New York in the final of the Bob Walsh/Tom Madl Memorial men’s fastpitch Sunday in Allentown, Pa.
Last year, Orillia lost in the final to the now-folded County Materials team. Last week, Riversharks defeated Patsy’s in the final of the World Series of Fastball championship in Orillia, Ont.
At Allentown, Ellsworth hit a home run, drove home three runners and scored five times as he hit 7-for-19 (.368) in six games.
Sunday in the final, Ellsworth was 0-for-2 with a walk after going 0-for-3 in the semifinal against the Broken Bow, N.Y., Gremlins.
In crossover action Sunday morning, the Sharks downed Keatings Fitness 7-2 and Ellsworth continued to play a vital role, hitting 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
Friday, he went 2-for-4 in the opener with two runs scored and an RBI in a 6-0 win over Pennsylvania Power.
Saturday, he hit 2-for-3 with a run scored and a double as the Sharks blanked the St. Thomas Centennials 4-0.
Later that night against Patsy’s, Ellsworth went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the sixth inning that cut the score to 4-3, but that was all Orillia could muster.
