First Menno Slo-Pitch team makes the playoffs

The regular season of the K-W Mennonite Slo-Pitch League drew to a close Wednesday night with First Mennonite and Glencairn playing the last game of the season. While Glencairn was assured of their play-off seeding, First Mennonite was a swing team. Rockway's win over Waterloo North earlier in the night meant that a win for First would put them in fourth place, while a loss would drop them to sixth.
Seven players from First showed up, combined with three extra players, to field a full team. The Olympics are only held every four years. First Mennonite managed to score every four innings, which meant that Glencairn scored more than us by the end of the game.
Practice: Many of you have indicated whether or not you can make a practice. It likely won't be a big group, but anyone that can come please meet at the Sheppard School diamonds (at Weber St & Stirling Ave) at 4 pm for some batting and fielding practice. You can get way more swings of the bat at practice than in a game!
Upcoming Games: As mentioned, we are in the play-offs as the sixth-ranked team in the B pool.
Monday, August 25, 6:30 pm vs Erb Street and 8 pm vs Stirling Ave, at BRESLAU upper diamond.
Wednesday, September 3, 6:30 pm vs Waterloo North at Bloomingdale 'A', then at 9:30 pm vs Glencairn at Breslau. Yes, this means driving between games.
Tuesday, September 9, 8:00 pm vs Rockway at Bloomingdale (one game only).
Tuesday, September 16 at 9 pm at Bloomingdale is the B side championship (top two teams in the B pool playoffs). Please keep that date just in case. Also, if there are rainy days the schedule could shift.
