Baseball fans in attendance witnessed a thrilling Mosquito Division semi-final contest at Diamond 2. Meanwhile, bleacher fans also saw an entertaining Bantam Division championship game at Dominico Field.
With two more games completed yesterday, the 2017 edition of the annual Toronto Playgrounds House League Baseball Tournament continues today with the Peewee Division Championship Game.
A grand total of 84 tournament games are scheduled to be played within an eleven day span (weather permitting, of course).
The sheer amount of baseball games slated to be played is a baseball lover’s delight. During the weekend portion of the tournament (when forty-seven games were played, it’s was a virtual cornucopia of baseball from dawn to dusk. It’s no wonder that we fondly refer to our annual end of season tournament as ‘September Madness’.
