Bridgeport ON Defends SPMFL Title

Monday, September 18th, 2006

From our ISC II blog, “The Deuce”:

The Bridgeport Braves, the South Perth Men’s Fastball League (SPMFL) regular season champs and the defending league champs, successfully defended their championship – but they did it the hard way Sunday, winning five consecutive games up the loser’s side of the 16-team bracket in the playoff tournament in Mitchell Sept. 15-17. They defeated the previously unbeaten Elmira Cubs twice in the final, 4-3 and then in the sudden-death final 3-1. (Click link above for more details)

Editor’s notes: Bridgeport was the host team at the 2006 ISC II Tournament of Champions in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, and a gracious host at that to the first ever California team to compete in the tournament, the California Lumberkings. The Elmira Cubs, who finished second to Bridgeport in this one, was the winner of the 2005 ISC II Tournament of Champions. Not a bad league, eh? No wonder the South Perth league is considered one of the best on the continent.
