Ottawa, ON
 
Greater Ottawa Fastball League regular season play wound up last
week, and the eight-team eastern Ontario / western Quebec intermediate
men's fastball league will move on to playoffs.  The GOFL has
three teams which will be participating at the ISC Tournament
of Champions in Kitchener / Cambridge: Ottawa Team Easton (#6),
Quyon Flyers (T#30) and Carp I4C Victory (T#30).

A quick preview on the four first round best-of-three series
in the GOFL.

A: 1st Carp I4C Victory (13-6-2) vs. 8th Ottawa Blitz (3-17-1)
In just their second year in the GOFL, I4C Victory claimed first
place in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League. While their "expansion
cousins" the Ottawa Blitz finished last in the league, they did
win their first three games of the franchise history and were
close in many other games. Carp won all three meetings this season
between the two clubs.

B: 2nd Stittsville 56ers (12-6-3) vs. 7th Orleans Gators (6-13-2)
Stittsville, playoff finalists in 2006, started a bit slow in
the 2007 campaign, but finished strongly and ended up just one
point out of first. Orleans, an expansion team in the GOFL this
season, had a very impressive start, but lost six in a row after
losing their junior-aged star pitcher Chad Hargrove for the season.
The teams tied in their first match up, but Stittsville was a
big winner in their subsequent two games.

C: 3rd Ottawa Team Easton (12-7-2) vs. 6th Manotick Lomor Printers
(8-9-4)
Defending GOFL Playoff champions, Team Easton will face their
nemesis in the Manotick team in the first round. Easton will
be a threat again for a "five-peat" this season with their all-star
laden squad, but Manotick has always seemed to play well against
Danny Konkle's team. Easton actually had a losing record against
Manotick in 2007 as the Printers took 2 of 3 in the season series.

D: 4th Quyon Flyers (12-7-2) vs. 5th Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton
Electric (9-10-2)
Most observers of the GOFL believe that Quyon has been the surprise
of the 2007 campaign. With a very young squad new to the league,
the GOFL's lone Quebec entrant tied defending champions Team
Easton in the standings, settling for 4th due to the tie-breaker.
WC Electric have had a season where they have blown a few games
they should have won, leading to their first below .500 season
since their initial year in the league in 2004. Some may call
this the "Ferry Series" as the teams will be riding the boat
across the Ottawa River to face one another. Quyon won the season
series two games to one.
