GOLDEN Gates captured two pennant titles on Saturday as the Baptist Sports Council drew closer to the completion of the 2009 Olympia Morris-Evans Softball Classic at the Baillou Hills Sporting Complex.

Golden Gates pushed their undefeated record to 4-0 in the men's vice president division as they blasted Calvary Deliverance 22-5 and Golden Gates also finished perfect in the Co-ed president division at 3-0 with a 13-3 rout over Salem.

The other pennant won so far is the co-ed vice president division. That went to St Paul's, managed by Morris-Evans, who finished with a 2-1 record.

The regular season games were cut short as the teams were placed in two divisions in the men and the co-ed to ensure that both the best-of-three playoffs and championship series are completed in December.

On Saturday, defending champions Transfiguration and Temple Fellowship are scheduled to play in two separate games to determine the men's president pennant winners. Both are 2-1.

It's the same scenario in the 17-and-under division where Transfiguration and Temple Fellowship are both 3-1 and they will play two different opponents to determine the pennant winners.
