SHAWVILLE Oct. 3, 2020

The Shawville Men’s Fastpitch League wrapped up on Saturday night, closing out an abbreviated season with a pair of games.

Organizer Matt Greer said that despite the late start and the additional restrictions, they were able to . . .

salvage a good year of ball.

“The overall sentiment in the league was a thankful one that we were able to fit a modified ball season in with everything going on,” he wrote in an email. “When permitted, we had great fan support during the regular season.”

Due to the Outaouais recently being designated an “orange zone” the league requested that fans not attend the playoff games.

Greer added that the year was a highly competitive one, due to players migrating over from the Greater Ottawa Fastball League, which was cancelled this season.

The final game Saturday evening saw the Trudeau Collision Brewers facing off against the Gannon/Blackburn Electric Inc. Bucks. The Brewers got off to an early lead, thanks to a grand slam home run by Cris Hearty in the first inning. Despite the Bucks’ best efforts, they were unable to claw their way back into the game and the final score was 8-2.
