MINOR BANTAM BADGERS WIN INTERCOUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
by Dan Haugh, Badger Media Liaison
The London Badgers Minor Bantam team won the 2010 InterCounty pennant with a record of 18 wins and 6 losses, and they have now added the InterCounty AAA Tier 1 playoff championship to their laurels by defeating Cambridge by 3-1 score in Kitchener on August 25. Josh Ramsay turned in an excellent pitching performance in a game that had to be delayed by rain for four days before completion.
Throughout the playoff tournament the Badgers Minor Bantams were undefeated with a 5-0 record. In the 3-1 championship win over Cambridge the Minor Bantams scored all of their runs in the first inning.
With two out, Garan Stevens singled and Zach Desa walked. Chris Cochrane drove in Stevens and Desa with a huge double and then came home himself on Colin Deman's triple. That was all the scoring that starter Josh Ramsay would need as he allowed only one run on three hits, and got solid defense from all of his teammates, but in particular Garan Stevens and Colin Deman were outstanding defensively.
Next scheduled action for the Minor Bantam Badgers is the Baseball Ontario AAA championships on Labour Day weekend in Etobicoke.
