After finishing fifth out of 10 teams at the 2010 Canadian championship in Charlottetown, player/coach Bobby Despres says the Twins are looking to place top three at the 2011 nationals in Owen Sound, Ont., Aug. 28 to Sept. 4.“It wasn’t a bad showing,” Despres said. “A lot of our guys hadn’t attended nationals in six or seven years, but we picked up steam as the week went along.”
After winning their first playoff game, the Twins pushed eventual bronze medallist St. John’s Three Cheers Pub before losing 5-3 on a walk-off, two-run homer by Stephen Mullaley in the bottom of the seventh. Click here for the complete story and photo at The Daily Gleaner.
