The Golden Horseshoe Fastball League held it's annual playoff tournament in Niagara Falls at Ker Park on the weekend. We had the requisite rain-out Friday night but enjoyed a banner Saturday & Sunday with the Niagara Snappers emerging as the 2014 GHFL Champions, winning over Waterdown Hammer.
Â
Award winners and full scores below. The league thanks executive members President Mark Korten, VPs Blair Setford and Glen Crocker and Treasurer Rick Hames. Thanks to Rob Greatrix and members of the Niagara Falls Fury for manning the beer garden on the weekend and to website administrator Scott Wagar. Best of luck to Hamilton Pirates who will represent the GHFL at the Ontario Challenge Cup next weekend.
