Glen Cairn Semi Finals

from Eric Rosenquist

The semi-finals of the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League got underway Wednesday night in Kanata, with the 2006 playoff and 2007 regular season champions from Murray Refrigeration taking on Medaglia Auto Imports, and the 2007 tournament champions from Local Heroes taking on the 2005 playoff champions from Amsted. The remaining teams were the top four in the regular season standings this year.

In the regular season, Murray’s went 2-0 against Medaglia, outscoring them 22-14, though it was Medaglia that took the series lead with a 5-2 victory on Wednesday night.

Local Heroes had a 2-0-1 record against Amsted in 2007, outscoring them 10-2 in the three games, including a dramatic 1-0 win in the tournament semi-final. As expected, the teams played a tight, well-pitched game where scoring opportunities were few and far between. In the end, Local Heroes prevailed 3-2 when the “Bee Gees” – Ben Gigliotti and Billy Gerber – strung together a double and a single to score the go-ahead run in the bottom of the 6th.

Both series continue on Monday September 17th at the A.Y. Jackson Secondary School ball diamond on Abbeyhill Road in Kanata. Amsted is home to Local Heroes at 6:30 and Medaglia is home to Murray’s at 8:30.
