Summary:
East Nepean Little League earned its first Ontario championship since 2006 by winning four consecutive games in the provincial tournament at Carleton-Russell Little League's Casselman Field.
East Nepean opened and closed the tournament with victories over District 1 champion Oakville Little League. The second of these victories, a 6-1 win, gave East Nepean its third-ever Ontario championship in the major baseball division, and moved the Ottawa-based league into the Canadian Region tournament in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. Once there, East Nepean defeated White Rock South Surrey Little League (Surrey, British Columbia), 5-1, to claim the Canadian championship and advance to the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
East Nepean had won four consecutive games in claiming Ontario's District 2 championship, and then opened provincial tournament play with a 5-0 victory over Oakville. East Nepean then topped Orleans Little League, 15-6, and host Carleton-Russell Little League, 10-0, to reach the championship round for the first time since 2008.
East Nepean has won ten consecutive District 2 tournaments in the major baseball division, and has finished among the top four teams at the provincial tournament eight times during that span. The Eagles, who will host the 2015 Canadian Region tournament, won one of their three games at the Little League World Series.
Oakville, which had last won the District 1 title in 1999, worked its way through the bottom bracket following their opening round loss to East Nepean, and earned a rematch with four consecutive wins. East Nepean eliminated Windsor South Canadian Little League, 16-1, then topped Cornwall Little League, 6-1, and blanked Orleans by a 4-0 margin. A 14-4 victory over Carleton-Russell then lifted Oakville into the provincial championship game for the first time in the league's history.
