The Niagara Snappers captured the 2005 GHFL Championship going 4-0 on the 
weekend outscoring their opponents 24-4.  This marks the 5th tournament of 
2005 won by the Snappers and leaves the Snappers with a record of 61-18 
with 1 tournament left to play.  Dan Duemo was named the GHFL league Most 
Valuable Pitcher for the 2nd year in a row and was also named 2005 GHFL 
playoff tournament MVP.  In ISC, GHFL and tournament play, Dan Duemo 
pitched 226 innings this year and struck out his 300th batter of the season 
in the championship game, ending the year with 305 Ks and record of 33-7 
and an ERA of 1.95.

Game #1 saw the Snappers defeat Waterdown Keiths 2-0.  Dan Duemo picked up 
the win with Jim Wilson hitting a solo home run to provide all the offense 
the Snappers would need.  Todd Dawdy had an RBI double to put the second 
run on the board.

In game #2, the Snappers took on the Mississauga Arrows and came away with 
a 4-0 victory.  Perry Bartley pitched 4 strong innings to pick up the win, 
with Dan Duemo coming in to clean up the final 3 innings to record the 
save.  Scott Young and Trevor Falk each had an RBI for the Snappers.

In the undefeated game, the Snappers mercied the 2004 GHFL Champion 
Hamilton Hawks 8-1 in 5 innings.  Dan Duemo pitched the complete game to 
pick up his second win of the weekend striking out 9 batters along the 
way.  Scott Young homered to power the Snappers offense while Mike Bateman 
and Dan Bernard had 2 RBI's apiece.

The Hawks worked their way back into the championship game where the 
Snappers then pulled out a 10-3 win in a 5-inning mercy.  Trevor Falk and 
Kevin Newhouse each homered in the win, with Falk missing hitting for the 
cycle by a single.  Newhouse contributed 3 RBI's and Falk 2 RBI's in the 
win.  Dan Duemo once again toed the rubber and went the distance in the win 
to leave him with 3 victories, and 1 save in the 4 Snapper victories.

The Snappers will now take 3 weeks off and finish off their 2005 season by 
attending the Millgrove Smoke tournament at the end of September.  The 
Snappers will be lead on the mound by Byron Demoe and 2005 All-World 
pitcher Rob Fawcett of the Port Elgin Blue Devils who has played in a 
couple of tournaments with the team already in 2005.  Dan Duemo will be 
taking a much deserved break for the rest of the season.
