Pat Brennan Sr went all the way for the Panthers giving up 8 runs (7 earned) on 7 hits while striking out 4 and issuing but 1 single walk . Red hot Eddy Roy led the way for JB going 3 for 3 (2 runs ,double , 2 RBI’s) with son Jeremy chipping in with a 2 for 3 performance (double , 2 runs ) .

   In semi final #2 the number 1 seed from the Sham division , the Sudbury Aquatech North Stars took on the Wiky Lumberjacks number 2 seed from the Brad division in what was expected to be the better of both semis . To the contrary the North Stars took it to Wiky from the opening frame pounding 5 runs on 5 hits and continued in the same fashion in the second inning to take a whopping 10-0 lead . The Wiky boys could not recover and the game was called after 3 because of the 10 run mercy rule .. Mike Loach pitcher a perfect 3 inning game with 1 fanned batter , 3 ground outs and 5 pop ups to the outfield .Brent Assinawe took the loss with Jason Peltier coming in for some relief in the second .Heikel Espanosa (center fielder) , 3rd home run of the tournament) and Lyle Baibomcai (2nd home run of the tournament) both went 2 for 2 for the North Stars with Mark Cain also going 2 for 2 (double) . Â
