Mitchell, ON
The #10 Elora Wellington Brewers went undefeated – a 3-0 round-robin record coupled with a perfect 3-0 record when it counted Sunday in the single-elimination playoffs – to win top honours at the 17th annual Mitchell Mets invitational fastball tournament Sunday, June 10.
Earning a first-round bye thanks to their 3-0 mark in divisional play, Wellington doubled #14 Bridgeport Braves 4-2 before blanking #25 Glencoe Astros 6-0 to earn a berth in the sudden-death final. In the final, the Brewers exploded for four runs in the fifth to crack open a 3-1 lead and defeat the #4 Elmira Cubs 7-2 for the championship.
Ryan Diljee homered to kick-start the four-run outburst, as the Brewers rode the right arm of Todd Uhrig to claim the title.
Elmira Cubs also went 3-0 in pool play, then dumped #2 Tavistock Merchants 10-6 and fought back to edge #13 Kitchener Outlaws 7-6 to earn a berth in the final.
