LaSalle Titans (Turtle Club Baseball)

The coaching staff would like to congratulate and recognize the Mosquito Major T1 boys on another excellent tournament finish.  The kids battled extreme temperatures throughout the weekend, finishing as the #1 seed by going 3-0 in pool play with victories vs. Royal York, Tillsonburg and Kitchener.  Sunday consisted of a quarter-final victory vs. Royal York, and a semi-final victory vs. Simcoe.  This set up a rematch with a well-coached, and very talented Tillsonburg squad.  The Titans ran out of steam, and finished on the wrong end of the score.  The kids should be proud that they battled until the final out!  The coaches, parents, and players would all like to recognize the host town of Simcoe and their volunteers, for an incredibly well-run tournament!

This past weekend, the Rookie Major team took gold at the annual London Tecumseh tournament, winning all 5 games. After a rainout on Friday, the Titans won convincingly on Saturday over Sarnia and Burlington during the intense heat. Sunday started off slow as they were down by 5 early to Oakville; they would go on to win 15-6. After beating the Milton Mets in the semifinal 16-8, they were to face the Leamington Lakers in the championship game. Leamington had beaten the St. Thomas Cardinals 12-11 in their semifinal. The Titans had already suffered 3 losses to the Lakers this season, including a 8-7 loss in the final of the Leamington Laker Classic Tournament.

The Titans got off to a hot start, scoring 7 in the first. Leamington would inch their way to within 2 runs by the 6th inning. Unable to gain any insurance runs in the previous five innings, the Titans were able to muster 9 hits and 7 runs in the 7th, which was capped off by a 2-run double by the tournament MVP, Grady Richardson, sealing the victory.
Great job by Coaches Steve, Al, Mike, Dave and Greg to keep the guys focused.

Congratulations to the boys on their tournament victory in Harrow.  After going 3-0 during pool play versus Kingsville, Corunna and Caledonia; rain washed out play on Sunday.  The final was resumed 2 weeks later between #1 seeds Lasalle and Leamington. The boys came out hot right from the start and never looked back, earning the tournament championship over a very talented Leamington squad.  The boys also displayed impressive individual efforts during the skills competition with 2nd and 3rd place finishes for speed; 1st, 2nd and 4th place in the throwing competition, and 3rd place in hitting.  A special thank you to all of the volunteers in Harrow who continue to provide an excellent tournament experience, 25 years and running!
