The Flyers are hosting the provincial championship this weekend at Town Park, welcoming teams from across Ontario for the tournament.
Port Hope kicked off the championship Friday evening against the Essex Yellow Jackets and came away with an 8-6 victory in front of the home crowd.
The Flyers will be back on the diamond Saturday morning when they take on the Clarington Cubs.
