Niagara Snappers Go Unbeaten in 2012 GHFL Playoff Tournament

Thanks to Blair Setford for this report.

[Niagara Falls, Ontario]- The Niagara Snappers went undefeated through the 2012 Golden Horseshoe Fastball League tournament to claim the title over the Waterdown Hammer, who were on their 5th game of the day.

The Snappers rallied from a 1-0 deficit on a solo home run by Trevor Falk in the 5th. An RBI single by Peter Dobbin in the sixth put them in front to stay.

Snappers pitcher Andrew Phibbs finished 4-0 and was named the winner of the Gord Newman Memorial Playoff MVP Award.
