The Intercounty Baseball League’s Brantford Red Sox won their second title in three years in their third straight final on Friday night in London. Just like last year, the Sox won game six to force a game seven but unlike last year’s disappointing loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, this year the Sox defeated the London Majors 8-2 to take the title. Brantford also won in 2006, also against the London team.
En route to their title, Brantford was able to exact some revenge on the Leafs by beating them in four straight games in the opening round of the playoffs. In round two, the Sox defeated the Guelph Royals in six games, including a 1-0 win and a 2-0 win. The final series against the Majors started off close with two extra-inning games and three of the first four games were decided by a single run (game three was a 2-0 victory for London). The final two games were a different story though. Brantford had 11 hits in each of those games and outscored London 14-4.
