Baycats' Castaldo delayed in quest for Triple Crown
A wrinkle has come out of left field to delay Jordan Castaldo's quest to win the Triple Crown in Ontario's Intercounty Baseball League. The obstacle came about Saturday night when the Kitchener Panthers beat the Guelph Royals to clinch a tie for first place in the eight-team league, thus forcing a tiebreaker game between Kitchener and Castaldo's Barrie Baycats on Aug. 6 to declare the winner of the top seed going into the playoffs. The tiebreaker is deemed a regular-season game so it means that Castaldo's teammate Kevin Atkinson could still win the RBI title, thus depriving Castaldo of the Triple Crown.
