Pitcher Steven MacLeod led his team, the Pickering Heat, on the mound and at the plate in a 9-3 final game victory over a scrappy Peterborough Thunder squad that battled back after a loss to Richmond Hill on Saturday. Macleod pitched in all of the Heat’s games as they defeated the Mallorytown Mariners (16 – 1) Walkerton Capitals (8 – 7) and Richmond Hill Thunder (14 – 3) before meeting the Thunder in the finals. The final game was a close one until Pickering broke it open with four runs in the sixth off Peterborough starter Brennan Bolton who was equally impressive as his counterpart MacLeod. Until the sixth it was a tight seesaw battle with the score 4 -3. Peterborough gained the finals berth with two straight victories Sunday morning 12 – 7 over Richmond Hill and 9-3 over Walkerton. The host Spring Brook Royals finished at 2 and 2 along with the Port Perry Jr. Jacks after four games on Saturday. Richmond Hill, after starting impressively, fell to 2 and 2 with consecutive losses Sunday morning. Walkerton Capitals who made it to Sunday also finished the tournament with a 2 and 2 record. Top pitchers were Steven Macleod of Pickering and Brennan Bolton of Peterborough who both pitched in all games for their teams. Hitters that impressed were leadoff batter for Peterborough, Brittany Moffat, Richmond Hill’s Kyle Thalheimer, Josh Busby of Walkerton along with MacLeod and Ed Matthews of the Heat. Both the players and officials had to contend with sweltering heat and it is a credit to all including the hosts for a great event. <bold>O.A.S.A.
