FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ONTARIO LOSES TO B.C. 4-0 AND SETTLES FOR SILVER MEDAL AT CANADA CUP

BYRON REICHSTEIN AND DAYTON DAWE NAMED TO JUNIOR NATIONAL TEAM

Ontario left a total of five runners on base in the first two innings, and then allowed British Columbia to score three times in the third inning of the Gold Medal Game at the Canada Cup in Kindersley, Saskatchewan. That was about all that B.C. needed as they cruised to a 4-0 victory in what was the third game the two teams played at the 2010 Canada Cup. B.C. won 3-2 the first time the two teams met in double-round-robin action and Ontario won by the same 3-2 score the second time they played.

After the Gold Medal game, London Badger players Byron Reichstein of St. Thomas and Dayton Dawe of London were named to the Junior National team.

Reichstein and Dawe will be returning home with teammate Mike Ambrose of London who also represented Ontario at the Canada Cup to join their Badger Midget teammates to launch their bid to defend the Baseball Canada Midget Championship they won last year in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Action in the Baseball Canada Midget Championship starts August 19 in London and St. Thomas.
