The Blackburn Men's Fastball League finals are now set. 

The Orioles defeated the Braves 15 to 0. The Orioles got the scoring started early in the first and never looked back. Fredyan Carpio and Elvin Gomez hit home runs for the Orioles. Nick Bowman took the loss with relief from Steve Walman. Will Lowe picked up the five-inning win, giving up four hits. 

The Orioles will face the Blue Jays in the double elimination finals. The Blue Jays have the extra life and home field advantage. Next game is Thursday, October 2 at 8:00 pm at the Blackburn arena diamond*.

* Stay tuned for an upcoming City of Ottawa Council vote to rename the diamond the Greg Kazmierski Diamond, in honour of the late Greg Kazmierski, Mayor of Blackburn and member and bat boy of the BMFL.
