Grafton - Jim Bradford Classic

Great weather for the 19th Annual Classic
 
The Cobourg Force wins the Classic by defeating  Ottawa Team Easton by a 2-1 score in the final here on sunday. A well pitched game from both teams.
Kyle Linton went 5 and1/3 innings for the win for the Force and Steve Ketchell came in relief and shut the door for the save.
Brad Porter took the loss going the distance for team Easton. Craig Minifie got things going for the Force in the fifth with a Home run and in the sixth Rob Doncaster hit a double up the middle -moved to third and then a wild throw by the catcher scored the second run.Team Easton answered in the bottom of the inning to make it a 2-1 score.Ketchell then closed off the seventh with 2 k's and a fly out to left field.
Kyle Linton had 8k's ,Ketchell had 3k's
Brad Porter had 10 k's.
The Cobourg Force take home the 1st prize money of $2500.00 while Team Easton took home 2nd with $1000.00. Waterdown ended up in third and the New York Bombers ended in fourth with $200.00 each.
 
   I would like to thank all the volunteers -scorekeepers - and a special thanks to Dave Harnden who single handedly looked after all the diamonds and had them in good shape for every game.
I would also like to thank the Hamilton Hawks for giving the tournament a blemish by not showing up after assuring the committee they would definitly be coming.
Thanks to Rob Oneill and Gregg Garrity for not giving any notice to the committee that they were not coming.Each team were awarded a 5 - 0 win for their absence.
