POS comes up with a championship on their first try
Considering that the team was put together in a week and the wet weather they dealt with on Saturday, POS had a great showing in the SPO Eastern Ontario Championships in Oshawa this weekend. With a perfect record of 6 and 0, POS represented the WMSPL extremely well. Round robin games against The Misfits, then the NY Generals, plus a default win on Saturday, put them in 1st place going into the playoff rounds. First up in the quarters were The Badgers who were disposed of by a 9 to 4 final. In the semis, POS faced the NY Generals again, this time around POS pulled out a 13 to 9 victory. That win sent POS to the finals, where they faced a local Oshawa team with a very familiar name: Sluggers N' Chuggers. It was a very close game until the 5th inning, when POS got their bats going and batted around scoring 6 runs in the process. Make the final 13 to 9 with the TSN turning point being Joey's double play in the 5th inning. Four teams from the WMSPL were represented on the POS team: Greenthumb/Woodland, Signage Source Storm, Attractions, and Bradley Motors Shifters. Of the 12 players on POS, most play or have played in the WMSPL. The roster consisted of coach Wayne Cosby, Manager Todd Boisvett, our pitcher Dave Hatt, and players Scott Chislett, Paul Power, Bob Barron, George Douma, Joey Pilkey, Lance Groskopf, Bob Peppler, Jeff Hutchinson, Jeremy Gardiner and Reg Eldridge.
