Grafton Jays crush Foodland’s dream of fourth title

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Editor’s note: The money quote:

“Nobody remembers who finishes first in the regular season.”



By JEFF GARD
NORTHUMBERLAND TODAY

The Grafton Jays have ended the three-year reign of Foodland Crush.

Grafton completed the sweep of Foodland on Wednesday night at Legion Fields with a 8-5 victory to clinch the 2010 Cobourg Men’s Fastball League championship. The Jays won the best-of-five series 3-0.

Grafton last won the Town League title in 2006, when they defeated the Crush. which went on to beat the Jays in the final the past three years.

After a long summer, leading into fall, winning the championship is the ultimate goal.
“It’s always great to win, regardless of who you play,” said Derek Wright, who shared playoff Most Valuable Player honours with teammate Scott Leblanc. They both batted .500 (14-for-28) in the playoffs while also playing superb defence.

“It’s a tough match (against Foodland). We’re an older team now and they’re what we used to be, but all our guys have won before and know what it takes to win.”

Grafton has become accustomed to being one of the top two teams in the league, but this year it was Foodland and eagle.cathat battled for first place during the season. The Jays finished in third after the 20-game schedule.

“A veteran team goes on cruise control a lot of the time and we knew we’d play well enough and get enough at-bats in to be there at the end,” Wright said. “Nobody remembers who finishes first in the regular season.”
