Team Red repeats as Carp League champions

The Carp Men's Fastball League finished up their playoff event on Saturday at the Fairgrounds.

A full round robin of games was followed by a championship game at 1 p.m. on Saturday between the top two teams -Team Red, the defending champions, and Team Blue.

The final match up was an exciting 8-7 walk off win for Team Red. Bryan Armstrong started for Red on the slab and Jonny "Vegas" Daley earned the win in relief. Blue started Blair Foley, who had relief from Lee Nixon and Lane McMurtry finished the game for the finalists.

Down 7-6 in the bottom of the seventh, Armstrong scored from second base to tie the game when a Team Blue pickoff attempt went into centrefield. Later in the inning, with two out, Russ Gow walked, stole second. Then a single from Daley scored the winning run for Red.

The four-team CMFL plays Tuesday nights at the Carp Fairgrounds.
