Oakville, ON - The Glace Bay Tim Hortons Antonians improved their record to 2-2 at the 2008 Canadian Senior Little League Championship with an 8-2 win over the Community Park Reds from Edmonton. Going into the final day of the round robin portion of the tournament, the Glace Bay win coupled with the loss by Community Park creates a log jam in the playoff picture. Four teams, Glace Bay, Community Park, NDG Lynx and the host Oakville team all sport 2-2 records. The Glace Bay-Community Park matchup was a hotly contested game with emotions running high on both sides and with the specators from both teams. Glace Bay was led at the plate and on the mound by hard-throwing right-hander Jeff Conn. Conn pitched 6 2/3 innings giving up just two hits while striking out 10 to earn the win. His record is now 1-1 for the tournament. At the plate Conn went 1-for-3 with a two-run homerun, his third of the tournament. Community Park didn't help themselves committing ten errors in the contest. Starting pitcher Tyler Doucet took the loss. Paul MacKenzie of Community Park was ejected from the game for arguing with an umpire after he was called out in a close play at second base. Next up for Glace Bay is a game with the Orleans Red Sox who are still seeking their first win. Community Park faces the NDG Senior Lynx from Montreal. |
