BURLINGTON, ON
That there is a place for semi-pro baseball in this province – there is no doubt.
Barrie Baycat’s batters did this more often than any other team in the InterCounty Baseball league – the team lost just two games in the regular season.
More than 1,200 fans packed the Jack Couch Park and saw the Barrie Baycats take a two-game lead in the IBL final with a 13-4 win over the Kitchener Panthers Saturday night.
Game 3 is Sunday night in Barrie.
Limited seating at the Nelson ball park.
Can you imagine that many fans showing up for a game in Burlington? The ball park at Nelson could hold – perhaps 300.
We don’t know how many Burlington baseball fans are taking in these IBL final games – we do know that if there are any they are seeing great baseball.
Thrilling.
Future games
