Congratulations to Elmer’s on winning the 2016 CTL Championship last night. They swept 2 games from the Willimantic Ridges who have lost back to back championships now. Elmer’s took the difficult path to the Finals by losing their first round game to Glast. After that, they reeled off 6 straight wins! The game 2, championship winning game was on a walk off single in bottom of the 7th. Wild on field celebration included shaving cream followed by huge party at Elmer’s Place last into the night.
This puts an end to the CTL season with only an Allstar game rematch against Hartford Twilight League on Monday. We owe them for getting a beating last year. Game is Monday, 7pm at McKenna Field in EH. We are still finalizing the roster and hope to have it set today.
Here is the championship winning hit by Alex Magoulas driving in Nick DiNino sliding headfirst for the winning run.
