June 1 - Welland - 57+ One Day -TBC

HI EVERYONE - First 57+ event was played June 1st in Welland in good
weather - no one kept a detailed scorebook so I'm guessing @ some results
HAMILTON 9 WELLAND 4
DUFF-SIMCOE 16 WELLAND 1(mercy score 5 innings)
DUFF-SIMCOE 5 HAMILTON 1
Great to renew "old" acquaintances on a nice day - one of the things I
noticed was a SIGNIFICANT number of runs being scored from 3rd base on wild
pitches & passed balls - as we play on this season I think we should
re-visit my suggestion to help catchers & pitchers by scoring from third on
a batted ball only, to avoid catchers chasing balls especially in hotter
weather - "food for thought"? (making it an optional rule by the host?)

The 50+ provincial championship was played in Welland sept 7 & 8 – it was one of the most competitive tournaments we’ve experienced in several years – a very determined BARRIE team qualified to play in the championship game with a record of
1-1-1 Had Barrie not scored a run in their last @ bats with 2 outs Sunday morning, 3 teams would have completed their preliminary games with a record of 1-2, & OAKVILLE, not Barrie would have qualified to play in the championship – CONGRATS to Mike Burke & the SCARBORO team for regaining the 50+ championship by scoring runs every inning to defeat a very competitive BARRIE team in the championship game - we had good weather & received MANY compliments on the field conditions of both burgar & M3 – the Welland legends would like to thank ALL teams for their GREAT support @ the “beer pen”

The Scarboro Maroons of The Scarboro Vintage Baseball League(“SVBL”), a proud member of the Scarborough Baseball Association and the Toronto Baseball Association, captured the 2019 Vintage Baseball Federation Of Ontario (“VBFO”) 45 + Ontario Championship this past weekend.
The championship was hosted by the SVBL on Friday September 27, Saturday September 28 and Sunday, September 29. Neilson Park was the host facility for the tournament, with preliminary games on Saturday also being played at Wishing Well Park. The teams participating in the Ontario championship were:
Scarboro Maroons-Host
Brampton Pioneers
Tecumseh Green Giants
Woodslee Orioles
Chatham Diamonds
Walsingham Senators
Scarboro Maroons opened the tournament on Friday night against Brampton and prevailed in the tournament opener-11-7.
When the tournament began in earnest on Saturday, we were facing some fairly inclement weather that cause delays at both facilities in the morning. Thanks to the hard work of our league volunteers at Wishing Well Park, and, the hardworking City of Toronto Parks and Recreation staff (Joe Khan) along with our league volunteers at Neilson, we were able to get all 6 games (three at each facility) in with minimal delays. Thanks to all for the hard work and your time on Saturday.
On Saturday, the Maroons met Chatham Diamonds in their second game. Scarboro prevailed 6-0.
The late game on Saturday saw Scarboro playing the Walsingham Senators, with Scarboro prevailing 11-8. The Maroons were 3 wins and 0 losses after the preliminary round. With two other teams 2-0 after Saturday, Scarborough would have to wait for the outcome of the remaining preliminary games Sunday morning to determine if they were going to advance to the championship game.
On Sunday, Tecumseh Green Giants defeated Chatham to become the other 3 win no loss team, which set up the championship game vs. Scarboro.
In the championship game, the Maroons were the visiting team and jumped out to a 3-1 lead after the first inning. Tecumseh answered back scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the second inning, making the score 4-3 after 2 innings. These were the last runs that the Green Giants would score. The Maroons scored 1 run in the top of the third, 4 runs in the top of the fourth and another four runs in the top of the six to win the 2019 championship 13-3.
This ends a hugely successful season for the SVBL and our Scarboro Maroons Provincial and National Programs:
2019 Canadian National Old- Timers Baseball Federation (“CNOBF”) 43 + Canadian Championship
2019 Vintage Baseball Federation Of Ontario 50+ Provincial Championship
2019 Vintage Baseball Federation Of Ontario 45 + Provincial Championship
2019 Vintage Baseball Federation Of Ontario 35 + Provincial Finalists (losing to Woodslee Orioles 3-2 in the championship game)
Scarboro is “Vintage Baseball Title Town”!
