Our 2-0 record meant a win over our next opponent would put us in the Championship game but unfortunately our next game was against Willowdale who eventually won the tournament. Willowdale may perhaps be the strongest squirt team in Ontario and their depth on offense and defence was too much for our Legionaires to handle as they white-washed us, . There were a few plays to be proud of by Port howeber. Luke relayed a deep ball in RF to Lambo who fired a rocket to catcher Matt Skerratt for a tagout at home to spoil a homerun bid in the second.

Wiseman and Adam Lamb continues to be vocal and 'on the ball' at all times. Tim lasted for 8 innings.in his third start of the day while LeFort took over on the rubber and Koury replaced hardworking Matt Skerratt behind the mask. Mike coaxed 6 fielding outs from a potent Willowdale batting order. Overall, the Legion squad has come a long way in. their . competitiveness over the season and hope to put their teaching to good use as they start their OASA playoff round against King City at home on July 25th at the - Water St. Diamond at 6:30pm. Your cheers and support of our hard-working team will be appreciated.
