The U11 Gold Athletics won their third Gold Medal of the season in Leamington this past weekend.
On Sunday morning, LaSalle once again faced Enniskillen in the Semi’s, a budding rivalry having now faced them in the finals in Chatham, and Bronze medal game in Lucan. Rising to the occasion once more, the A’s cruised to a dominant 21–2 victory. Lennon and Emerson delivered stellar pitching performances (8k and only 1 walk). Amelia & Evelyn smashed Home Run’s and Lennon drove in 6 RBIs. Bats were on fire with 17 hits and a 7 run 5th inning.
In the Championship Game, LaSalle faced another undefeated squad, the Windsor Wildcats. Fueled by determination and positivity, the team exploded out of the gates and claimed another dominant 15–5 Gold Medal victory.
The margin of victory was impressive, but it was a total team effort from top to bottom, start to finish. The team allowed only 9 runs all weekend again proving that DEFENSE wins championships!
On the mound, Emerson, Nora and Lennon combined for 9 strikeouts. At the plate, Mack smacked a triple and a home run, while Arisa (two triples) and Amelia (HR, 3 hits, 4 steals) each had 4 RBI’s in the Championship win.
Next up: the Regionals @ Mic Mac August 15-17, where the team looks to round out their remarkable season!
