Mitchell, ON

A six-run seventh inning was enough for the Glencoe Astros to rally from a 5-1 deficit and defeat the Elmira Cubs 7-6 in the ‘A’ final of the 16th annual Mitchell Mets tournament on the June 9-11th weekend. Shaun Winship’s two-run single in the seventh snapped the 5-5 tie, then he came in relief of Jason Dawdy with two runners in scoring position and nobody out and save the victory, giving the Astros top prize money and exact some revenge as the Cubs had beaten the Astros 8-2 earlier in the day to advance to the final. Glencoe doubled Tavistock 6-3 to earn a shot at redemption and it paid off.

Elora Wellington Brewers captured the ‘B’ title with a huge 13-1 win over Harriston, while Zurich Rangers edged Milverton Millwrights 2-1 in eight-innings to claim the ‘C’ consolation prize. In the eight-team ladies division, Bramalea Nics went nbeaten and edged Milverton 2-1 to win top honours.

The competition was a good tune-up for many clubs as they prepare for the ISC II qualifier in Innerkip this weekend.
