Peewees open CNE play with win
Wednesday August 20 2008 Using seven different pitchers along the way, the Georgetown Eagles downed Niagara Falls 5-1 on Monday morning in their opening game of the 52nd-annual Canadian National Exhibition Peewee Baseball Tournament.
“We wanted to give our players the experience of playing at the Ex and everybody pitched well,” said Georgetown coach Ian Stubberfield.
Jason Bridges of the Eagles was named player of the game after belting a two-run homer, while also adding a single and stolen base.
Georgetown’s peewees will now face Newmarket in their second game of the tourney tomorrow (Thursday) at 2 p.m.
Thirty-two teams from around the province are entered into the single-elimination event.
This past weekend, the peewee Eagles earned a berth in the Baseball Ontario AAA championships to be held on the Labour Day weekend in Vaughan after finishing as runner-up at the Central Ontario qualifying tournament in Brampton.
Georgetown lost to the Mississauga Twins 10-9 in the final but still qualified for the provincials.
