info from Shawn Laframboise

The Shawville Men's Fastball League has one game left in the playoffs, with the Brewers and Twins facing off for the title on Friday at 8 pm. The Brewers defeated the Bucks in a dramatic 9-8 semi-final win on Tuesday night.

The Brewers took the lead 5-2 in the fifth with a two run homer by their pitcher Trevor Lahey. The Bucks batted around in the sixth and put six runs across to take a 8-5 lead.

The Bucks maintained their three run lead going into the bottom of the seventh.  Mike Baker walked, followed by a Derek McColgan hit by pitch to put two on and none out. Bucks' thrower Lenny Burger got a pop out and ground out to the three and four hitters to make things look good for them. Jason Trudeau then hit a hard double to the gap in left-centre to make it 8-7. Jordan Kearns then hit a high pop up to shallow left-centre that just eluded the short stop and score the tying urn. Brent Jackson knocked in the winner with a line drive to the left-centre gab and put the Brewers on to Friday's final against the Twins.
