The season may be over....

...but that doesn't mean there aren't more updates for the blog.

With all the fastball in the area wrapped up for the season (with perhaps the exception of the women's university ball), blog updates will be a little more infrequent.

However, the GOFL All-Star 2009 selections as chosen by the league managers will be posted within the next few days.

As well, on occasion, I plan on posting some "blasts from the past" over the winter. See below for an example:

Ontario Junior A softball finals at Orleans
by Bob Ferguson, The Ottawa Citizen, Aug 15, 1986, pg B7

Carrier and Preseault Parks in Orleans will be the scene Aug. 23-24 of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association's Junior A championship tournament. Eight teams, including Orleans Sun Life and Lacroix Sports, the host clubs, will comprise the field for the double knockout affair which will feature 10 games Aug. 23 starting at 9 a.m. and four or five games (depending on need for a playoff) Aug. 24 starting at 9 a.m. Simultaneously, Smiths Falls will play host to the OASA Junior C title tournament.

Ottawa-Nepean Canadians qualified for the Orleans tournament as Zone 7 champions beating Stittsville 56ers 2-1 in their best-of-three final.

In the showdown contest, Tony Riches homered in the top of the eighth to provide Canadians with a 2-1 decision and give Jamie Wilson his second victory in the playoff.

My sources tell me there is a "Fall Ball" league. If anyone wants to send me updates for that, I'd be happy to post those.
