Mattamy wins the Glen playoffs
from Mike Vandenberg
Many rainy evenings delayed the start of the Glen Cairn Men's Fastball League Finals this fall.
Top seed Laurysen Kitchens and 5th seed Mattamy Homes, played Game 1 on Tuesday October 6. With both starting pitchers absent; Darren Featherstone (Laurysen Kitchens) and Neil Cooke (Mattamy Homes), game 1 had Brennan Burnett pitch for Laurysen and Shawn Simzer (1 inning) and Troy Wilson (6 innings) throw for Mattamy Homes. Both teams scratched out a run in the first inning. Mattamy added 2 in the 3rd inning which included Shawn Simzer hitting a solo home run. Mattamy broke the game open with 3 runs in the 5th. Both teams added a run each in the 6th inning. Mattamy won game 1, 7-2.
The heavy rain forecast for Wednesday October 7 didn't materialize and left the field very playable for game 2 of the best-of-3 series. With both teams having a full squad, Darren Featherstone (Laurysen) and Neil Cooke (Mattamy) were set to face-off. Laurysen opened the game with 2 runs in the top of the first inning but Mattamy was able to minimize the damage with 2 put outs at home plate. Mattamy scored a run in the bottom of the third inning to make the score 2-1. Laurysen added 2 more runs in the top of the 5th inning taking a 3 run lead with a score of 4-1. In the bottom of the 6th inning Mattamy strung together 2 doubles and a triple to get within one. Mattamy continue to put the pressure on Laurysen in the bottom of the 7th and was able to drive in the tying run. With 2 out, a runner on 3rd and pitcher Neil Cooke at the plate, the Championship winning run came in on a passed ball to the back stop. Mattamy won game 2, 5-4 and wins the GCML Championship.
