The Niagara-on-the-Lake Minor Softball Association held four nights of playoff action at two diamonds in Virgil recently. The Coaches Pitch (Ages 7 to 10) and Squirt (Ages 11 to 14) divisions concluded Thursday night with some exciting action.

The Yankees took the Squirt title with a victory over the Blue Jays while over at the other diamond, the third-place game  went into extra innings before the Reds could claim their bronze medals by beating the Pirates. Earlier in the evening another team of Pirates claimed the Coaches Pitch championship. 

Details on the winners of the Learn to Play (ages 3-6 years) and Pee Wee Slo-Pitch (ages 15-18 years) were not available at press time.
