Williamsburg Final Results
from Eric Rosenquist
Local Heroes Kanata defeated the Williamsburg Cigars 1-0 in the championship game on Sunday. Billy Gerber went the distance for Local Heroes, allowing only one base runner on a single to left field. Jason Smith pitched equally well for Williamsburg, surrendering two walks and one hit, but the difference was the hit – a solo home run by Cory Alkerton in the third inning that stood up as the game winner.
In the consolation final for third place and $100 in prize money, Sydenham got the nod over Manotick. Manotick had stretched Williamsburg to extra innings in their semi-final before losing 2-1 in the 8th, though they only had seven players and had to round out their roster with some local pickups at game time. After the game, Manotick didn’t have enough bodies to field a team, so Sydenham took 3rd place by default.

Williamsburg goes ahead 1-0 early, only to see Manotick tie the game off a John Lindsey solo home run. The game went to extra innings, with Williamsburg winning 2-1 in the bottom of the 8th.
