The Sudbury Industrial Slo-Pitch League, the oldest in the city with a quarter century of ball memories behind it, staged their playoff tournament this past weekend. Following round robin play, both Auto Depot and the Fielding Colts finished with identical records of 2-0-1, with Auto Depot garnering top spot thanks to a lower run differential.

In semi-final action, Auto Depot easily disposed of the Tailgators (24-7) while the Colts faced a much stiffer test, defeating Chad's Team 11-9. In the championship final, the experience of the Auto Depot crew came in handy, limiting the Colts to only two runs in the top of the first and cruising to a 9-2 victory.

Justin Nootchtai stroked out three hits, including a double for Auto Depot while Dave Proulx went 2 for 3 (2-run HR) in a losing cause for the Colts.
