From the 29 Oct 1951 Simcoe Reformer:
"Simcoe Bantams win Provincial Title -- Three Links take deciding tilt from Acton by 9-5 count. -- A thrilling climax to a lengthy season of baseball thrills came at Victoria Park in Hamilton when the local youngsters captured the O.B.A. Bantam "B" Championship by whipping Action Boys Club 9-5 in the third and deciding game. Proving themseleves great champions, the "Links" staged a sensational comeback to post a well-earned triumph. Rogers came to the plate in the big Simcoe 5th and slammed out a tremendous home run to give the Links the lead for good."
