Windsor, here we come!
The Stingers’ Mosquitoes earned their place at the Ontario Baseball Association’s AAA provincial tournament with a thrilling 4-3 extra-innings win over the Etobicoke Titans Sunday at East Toronto Athletic Field. The win gave the Stingers, who hosted the city finals this year, the third and final berth for the championship, being held in Windsor on Labour Day weekend.

Pitcher Austin Tanfield held the Titans off the scoreboard for almost five innings before he hit his maxium pitch count and had to leave the mound. With Scarborough leading 1-0, Etobicoke scored twice on an error in the sixth. The Stingers came back to tie it in the seventh inning and scored twice more in the eighth to take a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the inning. Etobicoke mounted a comeback, scoring once and putting men on base, but their hopes of a place at the OBAs ended with a two-out fly ball to right fielder Scott Moore that ended the game.

Scarborough lost 13-7 to the North Toronto As in the semi-final and then watched as the undefeated North York Blues lost a 2-1 shocker to the As, forcing a final sudden-death game three days later, which the Blues won 9-0. Earlier in the competition, Scarborough eliminated East York, 13-2, after losing their opening round game to North Toronto, 11-1.

TBA playoff results



Stingers gather for a team picture at London Tournament

• Consolation final in London!
  In round-robin play, we beat North London handily and St. Thomas in a nail biter. We then lost Game Three Saturday to Hamilton, but qualified for one of four semi-final positions as the wild card team.

  The Sunday semi was also against Hamilton. The game was ours for the taking but for a bad bounce and timely hit or two. The two-run loss meant a game in the consolation final rather than for the championship. Though Cambridge won that game we still finished as the fourth-best of 12 teams in the tourney. Overall, a good time was had by all, including players and parents.
