August 8th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

Last night (Tuesday night) at the Trevor Frederickson Memorial Field in Sunnyside Park, two teams, the defending Champions A-Plus Designs and the contenders, Dusty’s Bar and Grill, competed for the championship. The contest being apart of a double elimination tournament with A-Plus coming back from the losers bracket to play for the trophy. The first game was a close battle with back and forth lead changes throughout the contest. The final inning you saw A-Plus stopping Dusty’s to a 3 and out to send the game into extra innings. Dusty’s continued to battle in the 8th and 9th inning but with a grand slam from A-plus’s Nick Harris put the game out of reach with a final score of 23-26.

Game 2 with both teams having to suffer only one loss in the tourney, started out as a close battle, but with hot bats from Dusty’s and a few crucial errors proved to be too much for A-Plus Designs, even after they battle back. The Championship game was won by a score of 23 to 13 with Dusty’s Bar and Grill coming out on top.
