Luke
Delarosbil, of Team Connexion demonstrates the style that kept most
hitters at bay all weekend long during the Valley East Mens’ Slo-Pitch
Labatt’s Last Chance Tournament held recently. Team Connexion and Team
Worth met once again in the ‘A’ Division finals of the competition
and didn’t disappoint the fans. Connexion jumped into a three run lead
in the top of the 7th inning only to have Team Worth tie
things up in the bottom and force extra innings. A three-run homer in
the bottom of the 8th proved to be the margin of victory for
Auto Depot/Team Worth who ended on top of the 14 to 11 battle of the two
top teams in the district.
Other division winners included: Express Plus over
King Sports in the ‘B’ Division. It was Bristol Machines defeating
Tailgate Charlies to take the ‘C’ title. Hanmer Bowl downed Subway
to win the ‘D’ championship. In the popular Recreation Division,
Nickel City Hotel downed Team Jones to take the top honours.
A total of 22 teams took part in the tournament which
has become known as the last chance for players to enjoy their favourite
summer sport. Both Team Connexion and Team Worth were warming up for
trips to the Provincial Championships the following weekend in Niagara
Falls.
