BURLINGTON, ON
One of the beautiful things about sports is the way things can turn on the kicking of a ball, the passing of a piece of pigskin, the shooting of a puck or the crack of a bat.
And it was the crack of a bat that brought about a stunning 5-4 Brantford win over the Toronto Maple Leafs Sunday afternoon in Game 7 of the quarter-final.

Brantford will now face the Barrie Baycats in the semi-final starting Tuesday.
The Baycats lost just two games in the series – and those were to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
With the Leafs out of the playoff series the Brantford Red Sox face a team they were never able to beat during the regular season.
The Red Sox win stunned the league with their game 7 comeback over the Leafs – the only team that managed to defeat the Barrie Baycats.
While the Brantford team battles it out with the league leading Barrie Baycats the Kitchener Panthers’ will take on the London Majors.
It has been an exciting series of baseball games for the league.
The Burlington Herd were taken out of the playoffs when Hamilton defeated then 4 – 1 in the seven game quarter finals.
