Oshawa On
Wednesday October 12th 2005
Under very wet and cool conditions these two teams battled it out in this final deciding game to determine the Oshawa City And District Fasball League 2005 playoff champions.
Very fine misty rain prevailed for the whole game, pitchers had trouble hanging onto the ball having to constantly ask for a towel to dry of the ball. Kudos to the catchers.
