Brewers Sweep Knights in Four Games
September 21, 2009
The Bolton Brewers won their first North Dufferin Baseball League title on Sunday when they overpowered the New Lowell Knights 7-3, to win the finals in four straight games. This was Bolton's first appearance in the championship series since joining the league in 2004. The championship series began September 12 in New Lowell with Bolton pulling out an impressive 10-6 victory. Their winning streak continued in the second game on September 13 with a 6-2 win followed by the September 19 win of 5-2. In game four, the early innings were uneventful until New Lowell's Todd Patton doubled and scored on a sacrifice bunt by John Patterson in the third. Bolton would immediately answer back with a lead off home run by Matt Blacklaws tying the game at one. In the fourth inning the Knights plated two more runs with Brandon Norrie and Ryan Martin scoring, but Bolton answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning, while batting through their line-up. The Brewers never looked back scoring a run in each the fifth and sixth innings, including a home run by John Hutchinson to win the game 7-3 and their first N.D.B.L. championship. In a post-game presentation, league past president Myles Morrish presented Mike Wallace and Eric Cirone the Strother Cup and congratulated them on their strong play. The Brewers had advanced to the finals by defeating the Aurora Jays in the first round and 2008 league champions Creemore Braves in the second. The Knights won their first series over Angus Black Sox and defeated Barrie Red Sox 'B' in the second round to make the finals. |
