The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - Al 5 j Quick exit at league playdowns for Sr. Red Sox Lýxtia-uînuitigs Ioss tilJutst toun.d particularly Iwartbreaking There was no shortage of disapporntment at this past weekend's Central Ontario Basebaîl Association (COBA) playdowns for the Senior Red Sox. A 0-and-2 exit in the double-knockout toumnament was heartbreaking enough, but the manner in which Milton dropped its first game made the quick departure that mucis tougher to swaliow. Down 7-3 heading into ffieir last at-bat at Clarkson Park Thursday evening, the seemingly-finished Red Sox forced Teague shines in Iate-inning play efrom SOFTBAUJR on page A14 Thriving in a late-inning pinch hitting role, the local slug- ger fueled the Brewers' successful drive with an 8-for-14 campaign, which included six homers and a pair of singles. His potent performance included a game-tying, two-run dinger against Manitoba and a bases loaded RBI single in the initial victory over the Orioles. Teagues Canadian championship triumph came on the heels of a third-place finish with Higgins at the August long weekend NSA Canadian World Series in Oshawa. Going 19-for-24 overali with 10 homers, he was one of the main reasons why the newly-esiablished club was able to shake off any iii effects from an 0-3 start and make it to the second/third place game - where they dropped a 28-26 slugfest to Quebec Lifescan/Transat. "This was one of the best games ive had the pleasure to play in ail season, but in the end we just couldn't pull it out," said Teague. Thse Milton softballer had two homers and a couple of other bits in thse battie for second, which served as revenge for Higgins' 22-18 decision over Quebec in opening-round playoff action. Teague also captained one of thse ail-star teams in Oshawa and went 1-for-2 in the game.
