Fox Twp and SM will play to decide the champion of the Elk County League. Both teams swept through their opening round series. Fox Twp ousted the two time Elk County League Champion Bradford in two games. The second game of the series will be talked about for many years to come as Bradford overcame a 12-3 deficet to take a 16-15 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning on a two out bases loaded infield single by Cory Viola. Fox Twp faced with the possibility of having to head back to Bradford for a series deciding game three rose to the occassion in the bottom half of the seventh. Lead off hitter Bobby Vollmer homered to right center to tie the game at 16. After a fly out Brett Quiggle reached on a single and moved to second when Jos Schlimm was hit by a pitch. Jess Cogan then stepped to the plate and delivered a game winning single to center that scored Quiggle as the Fox Twp advanced to the finals with a dramatic 17-16 victory. Since starting the season 1-4 Fox Twp has won 12 of their past 13 games to stand 13-5 on the season. They now face a SM team that has been near or at the top of the Elk County League standings all season long. SM took two out of the three regular season meetings with Fox Twp. SM won the first two games by 12-6 and 10-8 scores, while Fox won the third game by an 8-6 score. These two teams usually play some very interesting games so the finals should be pretty entertaining. Both teams will advance to the Region 8 Tournament starting next Saturday in SM. SM will be the host team in this year's tournament.
