“A downpour didn’t dampen any spirits at Dorchester’s Royal Field as the 2027 CPBL Prospect game played on Saturday despite the weather.

After a wet night full of offence, the game was called following the top of the ninth inning. Team Black edged out Team White 17-14.

Despite all the hard-hit balls, it was pitcher Elliot Malo (Contrecoeur, Que.) who took home the bat shaped MVP award.

“When I heard them call ABC and started with a four, I thought it was going to be (Gabriel) Lehoullier (Levis, Que.) with his bomb early in the game,” Malo said with a laugh, “I never thought I could win MVP as a pitcher, I mean, the award is a bat.”

“Day two of the 2026 CPBL Showcase began on Saturday with the class of 2028 battling on Dorchester, Ontario’s beautiful Royal Field.

The clear skies would be the only nicety Team Black would receive though, as they found themselves on the wrong end of a 17-5 beatdown at the hands of Team White’s prospects.

Headlining the offensive outburst was the game’s MVP, Fieldhouse Pirate Austin Burton (Waterloo, Ont.). The uncommitted catcher had a 3-for-4 day at the dish with a three-run home run, two singles and four RBIs. “
