Ezekiels were on fire in senior softball league

In what surely must be a first for the Molson St. John’s Senior Men’s Softball League, which began play in 1957, three brothers have finished one-two-three in the race for the batting crown.

Ironically enough, the three play on three different teams.

There have been many brother combinations in the league over the years (the Davis’s, Foleys, Bolands and Beresfords among them), but this probably has not happened before: Blair Ezekiel of Kelly’s Pub Molson Bulldogs won the batting with a .489 average. Kyle Ezekiel of 3 Cheers Bud Light Dodgers was second with a .423 clip and Brad Ezekiel of the NTV Hitmen was third, hitting .400.

Brad is a veteran on the national team, and Kyle is currently with the Canadian squad in the Dominican Republic for a Pan American Games qualifying tournament. Blair had a brief stint in the national team program.
