Article content\u201cThe defence was really good all game,\u201d said MacFarlane. \u201cWe had a couple really big plays.\u201dArticle contentClutch hitArticle contentOffensively, Seamus Ramsay delivered a key hit for the Axemen to open the game\u2019s scoring shortly after MacFarlane worked out of the bases-loaded situation.Article content\u201cSeamus Ramsey just ripped a triple and scored two runs for us, and there was really no looking back,\u201d said Coach Campbell, who added the Axemen turned three double-plays in the final.Article contentCampbell said a big part of MacFarlane\u2019s success is he\u2019s good at hiding the ball and making it difficult for batters to pick it up out of his hand.Article content\u201cHe\u2019s almost on top of them before he really releases it,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cHe uses that to his advantage, and he kept the batters definitely off balance in the box.\u201dArticle contentKey pitchesArticle contentTwo pitches MacFarlane relied on heavily in the final were the slider and change-up.Article contentArticle content\u201cHe\u2019s got a slider that moves quite well, and a lot of (Bluefield\u2019s) best batters are left-handed, so the lefty-lefty matchup worked really well in our favour,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cHe\u2019s got pitches that look like they\u2019re going to hit them in the elbow, and the next thing you know, it\u2019s in the zone for a strike, or it looks like it\u2019s a fastball coming down the middle, and the next thing you know, it\u2019s a foot off the plate outside, and they\u2019re swinging and missing.\u201dArticle contentNew championArticle contentThe Axemen\u2019s victory prevented the Bobcats from winning a third straight PEISAA championship. The final also marked a rematch of the 2024 gold-medal game, played at Legends Field in Summerside.Article content\u201cA lot of (the Three Oaks players) were back from last year when (Bluefield) beat us in extra innings for the gold medal,\u201d said Dave Campbell. \u201cSo, there was a bit of a chip on their shoulders.Article contentArticle content\u201cThe new guys that came in were great, and we had some Grade 10 guys and two of them (Ashton DesRoches and Liam MacDonald) had significant roles, which is promising for the future.\u201dArticle contentCampbell beamed with pride when talking about the commitment of his players.Article content\u201cThey all had great attitudes,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cEvery single one of those guys on that team, when you talk, they listen if you tell them to do something.Article content\u201cIf they don\u2019t know why, they ask why. There was never a time where I looked at the team and said, \u2018I\u2019m not sure if we have the team to do it this year,\u2019 and it was because they all bought in from Day 1.\u201dArticle contentInterest highArticle contentThe 2026 season featured six teams competing in senior boys\u2019 baseball. Interest is particularly soaring at Three Oaks Senior High School in Summerside.Article content\u201cWe had a large number try out this year,\u201d said Dave Campbell. \u201cI think we had 28 kids come out for tryouts, which is great. I think last year we had 18, so the interest is growing and that\u2019s what we\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
