Bren Electric are Harbour Ball champs

Bren Electric won the Fitzroy Harbour Men's Fastball League championship series two games to none, defeating Murphy's Plumbing 5-0 on Monday night in the Harbour in front of about 50 fans.

Todd Wilson had the start and threw three shutout innings for Bren, with Adam Rueckwald also throwing shutout ball over four frames. Shawn Ryan had the start for Murphy's allowing three over four innings, and Ryland Hill was in for three innings and allowed two runs.

Bren got on the board early with three in the top of the first. Ben Wade walked, Rueckwald reached base on catcher's interference, bringing Ryan Conners to the plate who homered to centre field.

The Electricians added to the lead scoring two off the Plumbers in the top of the sixth. Wade got on with a bunt single and scored on Rueckwald's triple. Rueckwald later scored on Conners' ground out to the pitcher.

The Fitzroy Harbour Men's League had five teams this year after taking 2020 off due to the pandemic. Bren Electric didn't lose a game all year, winning all eight Harbour Ball games they played.

This year's Most Valuable Player for the league was Adam Rueckwald.  Shawn Ryan was named the Most Sportsmanlike.
