Athletics - U13 Green (Potter) - 13U Athletics (Green 2010) Score Tier 2 Gold in Halton Hills
The 13U LaSalle Athletics (Green 2010) earned gold medals in the Tier 2 division of the Halton Hawks May Classic this past weekend.  The girls have a good medal collection started this year, having taken home a silver just two weeks ago in the season-opening tournament in Brampton. 

While the gold medal was well-deserved, the team’s primary goal for the weekend was long-term player development.  After an off-season of hard work, the lineups were set up to ensure the girls had an opportunity to apply new skills in new positions in real game situations. 

 

The Athletics responded well to this challenge, going 4-0 in Saturday’s round robin games and advancing to meet a tough Cambridge squad in the finals Sunday.  Playing a full seven inning game for the first time, the Athletics won gold in a 9-4 battle that was much closer than the score would indicate.  The offense powered the team all weekend, pounding out 74 hits over the six game tournament, good for an amazing .525 team batting average. 

 

The coaches and parents would like to congratulate the girls on their early season success.  It was also particularly encouraging to hear compliments from umpires and opposing coaches, who took the time to applaud the sportsmanship and positive approach of the 2010 A’s.  They continue to represent the Lasalle Athletics organization very well.
