                                    STEELERS AND CARDINALS SWEEP
THE QUARTERS
 
                                                    Its on with
the second round semi finals starting next Thursday August the
7th  at Lorne Brady Park in Garson , following both of last night's
games played in Garson .
                                                    In the opener
for the second strait night , the Steelers from Whitefish Lake
First Nation , shut out the Athletics 7-0 and wont the best of
three 2-0.
                                                    In the nightcap
the Cardinals came out much stronger after getting a scare in
the opener winning 4-3 and not 3-2 having to come from behind
late in the bottom of the seventh.This time their strong bats
and defense help them trounce the Native Sons from Magnatewan
11-2 .The Pickerel Cardinals also take their best of three quarter
final 2-0.
                                                    This coming
Thursday August the 7th ,  the second round semi finals best
of five affairs get underway. In series "A" it will be the Whitefish
Lake First Nation Steelers (4th place finishers during the regular
season) taking on the first place Commissioner's Cup winners
the Dog House North Stars .It is important to mention that the
young guns from the Steelers defeated the first place North Stars
twice during the regular season and tied them in the other contest.This
could prove to be a very interesting series .If their veteran
pitcher Al Guenette(the league's top pitcher for 2008 5-1-0;4,57
ERA) comes through we could see a full five game series .The
strong bats and defense from the defending champions might prove
to difficult for Whitefish
                                                      In series
"B" also a best of five series two old rivals from the past will
do battle .The season series between both was close . Both teams
have two pitchers and strong bats down their lineup. Corey Farmer
, this year's batting crown champion from the Hounds could be
the key element in the series as well as clutch hitter and catcher
Todd Parsons(winner of the most runs batted in during the regular
season).
