Canada East ISC II Qualifier in Innerkip, On
Saturday June 23
Perfect day for ball here in Innerkip. High blue skies with temperatures in the mid 20’s. Good crowds for many of the games throughout the day and the beer tent was buzzing about the upsets. Elora Brewers dropped their second game of the tournament and were sent home early by Hickson Reds. Wyevale Tribe sent Elmira Cubs to the loser’s bracket with a thoroughly convincing 8-0 win as Jason Giffen tossed his second 1-hitter of the tournament while Lee Hopkins of Bucktown continued to be the hottest batter, driving in both of Bucktown’s runs in their 2-0 win over Glencoe Astros, giving him 7 in the Bees’ first two games. Bucktown’s Phillip Martin also continues to impress, allowing only four hits to Port Elgin in a 2-1 win to advance to the undefeated game. Giffen has given up only four hits all tournament as Wyevale has made their way to the an improbable winner’s bracket final against Bucktown.
