Elliott: Majors steal home and 15U title against Peterborough
“The Mississauga Majors stole the Baseball Ontario 15U title at Clarkson Park.
Literally.
And it’s not like the Majors did the thievery during the dark of night, but rather in broad daylight.
The Majors entered the seventh inning of the gold medal championship game down 4-2 to the Peterborough Tigers heading into the bottom of the seventh. With a run in and two out, first Nicholas Segaric stole home for the tie and four pitches later Evan Gaudry stole home with the game winner.
The Majors didn’t walk it off. They ran it off.”

Glew: Late-blooming Boucher happy to be a Brave
“Pier-Olivier Boucher is a late bloomer.
That’s how Lance Rhodes, his former coach at Southern Illinois University, describes the Quebec-born outfielder who was selected in the 10th round of this year’s MLB draft by the Atlanta Braves.
And the description seems apt when you consider that Boucher didn’t start playing baseball until he was 12, didn’t make his first elite competitive team until he was 16 and didn’t have a single offer to play college ball after high school.
None of this, however, deterred Boucher from pursuing his dream of playing professional baseball.”
