Bolton and Midland in Junior Final

August 10, 2009

The Bolton Braves and Midland Twins juniors of the North Dufferin Baseball League advanced to the Championship Series over the weekend after a surprised forfeit by the Orillia Royals.

Three concluding games of the first round of playoffs were to be played Sunday, however the Orillia team was unable to field nine players and forfeited their game to Bolton. This was Orillia's second forfeit of the season and as outlined under N.D.B.L. rules are suspended from League play.

As a result of the forfeit, Bolton and Midland will compete for the Junior Championship.

The first game was played late Sunday with Bolton defeating Midland 7-1. A tentative schedule has been set with Midland at Bolton on Tuesday, the third game in Midland on Thursday and a fourth and fifth game, if necessary, back in Bolton on Sunday.
