Junior nationals update

There are nine teams from Ontario (3), Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, Saskatchewan and PEI (Host) participating in Summerside at the Men's Junior Nationals this week.

Quebec is represented by a team familiar to fastball fans eastern Ontario / west Quebec - l'Express de St-Leonard d'Aston. The Express are led by their pitcher Francis Lelcair. The Quebec team has also picked up Matt Greer of the Quyon Flyers. I listened in to a webcasted game for a bit this afternoon, and Cooney was playing third base for the Express and the commentators mentioned that he "looked like quite the athlete over on the hot corner." Good luck to Matt and the Express - they are going to need it as they are now 0-3.

Ontario is represented by three teams - Simcoe Wildcats, Elmira Millwrights and the Scarborough Wolverines. Scarborough is now 3-0, one of their wins a 2-1 pitchers' duel over St-Leonard. The Wolverines are essentially the same team that competed at the ISC II Qualifier in Kingston and played against WC Electric, Valley Raiders and Quyon (twice).
