Some 50 Jays fans turned out to cheer on the team in Game 7 at the watch party hosted by the Shawville RA on Saturday night.

The final game of the World Series had the crowd pacing, shouting, and occasionally yelling at the screens used to project the game, especially as it extended past its ninth inning.

But the RA’s atmosphere had nothing on that in Rogers Centre, from where Portage-du-Fort native and longtime Pontiac High School teacher Julie Le Monnier-Baxter watched the final match with her son and husband.

“Insane! Stressful. ‘Let’s go Blue Jays’ chants the entire time. Standing most of the time, even in the 500-level. High-fiving random people,” she said of the experience.

“When Bo got his 3-run homerun it was wild. Then when the Dodgers tied the game and the final run in the 9th, I was sad. My son cried a lot. I cried a lot the next day. It’s not just a game to us. It’s watching almost all 162 games in the regular season. Getting to be there with my husband and my son was amazing. I wish my daughter had come too.”
