Glen Cairn League Finals
from Eric Rosenquist
The finals for the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League are set, and there will be a new champion in 2007.
Amsted defeated Local Heroes two games to one, with the last game going scoreless through 6 complete innings. Amsted then scored 3 in the top of the seventh, including two runs on a two-out single by Amsted pitcher Neil Cooke that deflected off Local Heroes pitcher Billy Gerber's foot and into left field for some needed insurance. Local Heroes answered back by scoring a run in the bottom of the 7th, and had the tying run at the plate with only one out, but Neil Cooke struck out the next two batters to preserve the win and take the series.
In the other semi-final, Medaglia upset the defending champions from Murray’s Refrigeration in dramatic fashion, scoring 7 runs in the bottom of the 7th inning of game 2 to overcome an 8-2 deficit and win the series two games to none. With the score 4-2 for Murray’s after 6 innings, starter Trevor Wood twisted his ankle and was unsure if he should continue to pitch. Pete Pettit came in to pitch so that Trevor could rest the ankle in anticipation of a deciding game the following night. With two out in the top of the 7th, Murray’s scored 4 runs to extend the lead to 8-2, and it seemed all but certain the teams would be going at it again in game #3. In the bottom of the 7th however, Medaglia got 8 hits from their first 9 batters to narrow the lead. They completed the comeback when Jeff Rawson singled with two out to drive in the 6th and 7th runs of the inning, giving Medaglia a 9-8 win and a spot in the finals.
Amsted is the home team by virtue of their better regular season record. In their two meetings this season, Amsted defeated Medaglia 7-2 in the regular season and 3-1 in the June league tournament. Amsted were playoff champions in 2005, with Medaglia (then K-Deck) last winning in 2002.
The best of three final series begins on Monday September 24th at 8PM, with game two going Wednesday the 26th at 6:30PM. Game three (if necessary) will be on Thursday the 27th at 8:30PM. All games are at the A.Y. Jackson high school diamond on Abbeyhill Road in Kanata.
