Padres Clinch Top Spot in Junior Division

July 14, 2025

The regular season for the Junior Division of the North Dufferin Baseball League wrapped up over the weekend with the Creemore Padres securing first place overall.

Creemore capped off a dominant campaign with a record of 15 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie for 31 points - finishing a full ten points ahead of the second and third place teams.

The division featured seven teams competing in an 18-game schedule, with the top six originally set to advance to the postseason.

However, the Bradford Tigers, who were in sixth place, forfeited two games last week, resulting in their suspension and removal from league play. As a result, all remaining teams will now move on to the playoffs including the Richmond Hill Phoenix, who were sitting in seventh place.

Beyond Creemore's commanding performance, the standings were tightly contested. Both Innisfil Cardinals teams finished with 21 points, while the Orillia Royals and Barrie Red Sox ended the season tied at 18 points.

Creemore and Innisfil 1 have earned first-round byes. The opening playoff matchups will feature Innisfil 2 facing Richmond Hill and Orillia taking on Barrie.

Schedules are being finalized with July 16 the earliest the series can start.
