Coquitlam A's went from the driver's seat to the back seat -- and fast -- at the B.C. Senior Little League provincial best-of-three championship series last weekend at Blue Mountain Park.
The A's opened with a 9-4 victory Saturday, only to have that win reversed when it was ruled six Coquitlam players who also toil for the Redlegs of the B.C. Junior Premier League were ineligible due to total games played.
Still, the A's rallied Sunday for a 4-2 victory to force a third and deciding game after, when they trailed 5-2 and bounced back to force three extra innings, only to fall 9-7 in the end. The result advanced Lower Fraser Valley to the national finals next month in Quebec.
"The boys played tremendous... I'm so proud of them," said Coquitlam skipper Bruce Michael.
