Mitchell, ON<\/p>\n
Offense was not a problem for the Bridgeport Braves on playoff Sunday in the South Perth Men’s Fastball League playoff tournament in Mitchell, as they amassed 25 runs in two big victories over long-time nemesis’ Sebringville Sting and Tavistock Merchants to win their first-ever league championship.<\/p>\n
The Braves whipped the defending champion Sting 10-4 Sunday, advancing directly to the final where they would have to beaten twice. Although Tavistock tried to do just that, and scored 10 runs themselves, were dumped 15-10 in a wild championship game.<\/p>\n
Bridgeport used a power-laden lineup to capture their first league title, finally climbing to the top after three misses in the finals in their five years in the league.<\/p>\n
Tournament MVP Jodie Schnarr led the attack from his customary lead-off spot in the batting order, going 10-for-20 during the tournament, while brothers Jim was the winning pitcher over both Sebringville and Tavistock, and Jay was a standout defensively and offensively from his shortstop position.<\/p>\n
Steve Cook, for Tavistock, was judged the top pitcher, while Sebringville earned the President’s Award for winning the regular season crown.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s results from the double-knockout tournament were as follows:<\/p>\n
#25 – Tavistock 4, St. Marys 3
\nWP – Cook, Steve; LP – Brookshaw, Scott<\/p>\n
#26 – Elmira Cubs 8, Moorefield 1
