Crushers hope to make some noise at Fall League tournament in Sharon

The Connecticut Fall Baseball League looks to complete their initial season on Saturday with three playoff games.

The Canton Crushers (0-7) will be looking for their first win of the season when they battle the top seed River Valley Orioles (5-1) at noon at Veteran’s Field in Sharon in the league semifinals.

The winner of that game advances to the league championship game for the first-year league at 2:30 p.m. in Sharon.

The Crushers were supposed to play the South Windsor Phillies in the first round on Saturday morning but the Phillies forfeited because they can’t round up enough players to field a team. As the lowest seeded team in the tournament, Canton was assigned to square off with the top seeded Orioles.
