The Pickering Red Sox are the 2017 GTBL champions! With a 6-1 win in game four of the GTBL finals, the Red Sox upended the Thornhill Reds three games to one to take the GTBL crown in convincing fashion.
Trailing 1-0 headed to the ninth inning, the Red Sox made a winner out of starter Steve Horsley with a six run outburst. Mike Rodriguez provided the big blast, a three run home run off Reds reliever Mack Major who suffered the loss.
Congratulations to manager Steve Marshall and the rest of the Pickering Red Sox on both a league pennant and league championship, quite a 2017 season!
