Falcons Dodge Curve Ball to Stay in League As lawyers in the OJ. Simpson case prepare for their upcoming trial, another court date of significance significance was held locally to determine the fate of another sporting figure. In this instance, the sports figure in question are the Bowmanville Falcons of the Eastern Ontario Baseball Baseball Association's senior division. Their charge, as read out before an unbiased jury of EOBA executive executive members, was forfeiting two regular season games after showing up with less then the required number number of players needed to officially start a game. The maximum penalty that the executive could have imposed on Bowmanville would have been to ban them for the remainder of the year, including playoffs. The alternative would be to overlook overlook their actions, and allow them to continue to play the rest of the year. They chose the second of the two options. The executive has recommended that Bowmanville be allowed to finish finish the remainder of their schedule, and be allowed to enter the playoffs. "I'm happy that we didn't get kicked out of the league," said coach Ron Cormier, who revived senior baseball in Bowmanville a year ago when he started the team after a long absence. There is, however, one stipulation stipulation with the verdict Should Bowmanville default or forfeit one more game between now and the conclusion of the season, they will be suspended for the remainder remainder of the year without appeal, said EOBA 1st vice president, Courtice Dadswell. The team was also fined $200 by the league for their actions. The whole scenario began to unfold unfold back on June 18 when Bowmanville Bowmanville had to forfeit a game against Kendal due to a lack of players. That was strike one against them. Strike two, and in this case their last strike, came one week ago in Port Hope, when again they showed up for the game with an insufficient number of players. Under league rules, that second forfeit immediately resulted in the team being placed under suspension pending a hearing to déterminé their fate. Games that were previously scheduled against Ajax last Thursday, Thursday, and a home game against Port Hope on Sunday, were not played. As a result of the ruling, victories for those two games have been awarded to Port Hope and Ajax. Cormier sighted work commitments commitments and holiday schedules as the reason behind the second forfeit of the year which resulted in the suspension. suspension. Since that time, an agreement agreement has been reached with the Clarington Orioles junior team, which will allow the Falcons access to call up players when needed. An agreement didn't exist prior to the two forfeited games. The team held one emergency Baseball by Brad Kelly meeting, and were scheduled to hold one again last night to discuss discuss the situation they find themselves in. "I don't foresee any more problems. But mind you, that is just a prediction, admitted Cormier. Allowing Bowmanville to remain remain in the league for the remainder of the year may have ultimately saved the program. Not only for this season, but for years to come as well. If Bowmanville had been banned as a result of the two forfeits, it may have been very difficult to convince players to play again next year. One thing the league doesn't want to see happen is teams starting to drop out and not return. "It would have been tough getting getting a team together next year," agreed Cormier. "It would have been like starting all over again. "I wanted to finish the year because because I'm looking ahead to next year, and there are guys out there who want to play." The problem that is beginning to crop up in this area is getting those interested players down to the ballpark ballpark and into a uniform. Some will recall the problems the Newcastle Lakers ran into in their final two years of operation, which culminated in having to forfeit forfeit a playoff game against Little Britain due to a lack of players. Players who are giving up their weekends during the summer to play, don't need to be inconvenienced inconvenienced by a lack of commitment by other players. That same scenario may be holding back some players who have entertained thoughts of putting putting on a Bowmanville uniform and making a return to play baseball baseball at the senior level. With Bowmanville now reinstated reinstated back into the league, they can shift their focus to the remaining remaining half-dozen games, including one at Soper Creek Park tonight against Kendal. Remaining games are scheduled against Belleville (2), Peterborough, Peterborough, Markham, and Little Britain. Britain. The club is hoping to build on the two victories they have accumulated accumulated to this point in the season. Bowmanville are also aware that they have been classified 'D' for the Ontario Baseball Association Association playoffs, and will face Little Britain in the opening round. That series is scheduled to begi'ri the first week of August. Both teams will be hoping to advance as far as the Ontario finals, finals, which are being hosted by Kendal on Labour Day weekend.
