GCMFL Tournament wrap up

from Eric Rosenquist

Congratulations to Medaglia Auto Imports who defeated ASAP Print Management by scoring 3 in the bottom of the 6th for a 5-4 come-from-behind victory to claim the tournament championship. The "B" trophy went to Laurysen Kitchens who defeated Mattamy Homes 4-1.

All in all it was a great weekend, with good fastball weather, nice facilities, and highly competitive games. Of the 18 round-robin and 6 playoff games played, only three were decided by a "mercy", and in all three of those cases it was because the losing team's starting pitcher was unavailable.

A big thanks to:

The Broadway Bar & Grill in Stittsville for sponsoring our tournament and hosting our pub night on Friday. The tournament trophy is on display at Broadway's and will soon have a plaque added to it for the 2009 winners.

Our three non-league teams: The Insomniacs, the Blackburn Warriors, and Trend-Arlington. Having 12 teams made for a much better schedule, and all three teams played great ball and were very competitive.

Geoff Lathem and the Huntley Community Association for the use of their excellent facilities and the grooming of the diamonds each day.

All of the players and fans who helped keep the park free of litter - that goes a long way toward giving the league a good reputation with the community association and the residents around the ball park.

The men in blue for working through the heat and doing an excellent job despite being shorthanded all weekend.

Mike Vandenberg for looking after the Combat draw on Friday night and the league equipment all weekend - taking it home each night and making sure it was back at the diamonds before the next morning's games.
