There is a reason why they call it SUPER SUNDAY here on Day 3 of the Ontario Men's AAA National Qualifying Tournament as the action yesterday ceretainly lived up to that moniker. The day started with seven teams left vying for an Ontario Men's AAA Championship and when the dust settled ...then there was all but two teams that remained. 

 

It was an awesome day of baseball as teams battled and grinded all day on the field. The field was a mix of veteran squads who have been there and done that before while there were a few cinderella stories that, unfortunately, the clock struck midnight. Either way, this tournament (like every year) has produced many heartbreaking losses and some fantastic plays as each team poured their heart and soul out and left it all on the field.
