Silver Tee Tournament Finalists
Lasalle Titans Tournament - August 9-11
The Lasalle Titans Minor Rookie team continued their successful season with a 2nd Place finish at the host Lasalle Titans Tournament on the weekend of August 9-11. The team opened up with a convincing victory on Friday night versus the Walker Homesites Hawks. The 2nd game of pool play featured a preview of Round One of the OBA “AA” eliminations against the Sarnia Braves. A very exciting see-saw battle resulted in an 11-10 Titans victory. A loss versus Sarnia would have meant that the Titans would not have advanced to Championship Sunday. Lasalle handed Leaside a loss to finish 3-0 in pool play, which resulted in a 2nd place pool finish to Riverside based on tiebreak.
Sunday morning began with a dramatic 8-7 Semi-Final victory versus the “AAA” Oakville A’s. While congratulating the boys, and wishing them luck in the finals, the Oakville coach stated: “How you boys are a AA team is beyond me, with defense like that.” It was a testament to the lockdown play the boys showed against a very talented team. The final game took place versus a streaking Riverside Royals team, in which the boys fell by a final score of 5-2. All the Riverside scoring took place in the first inning, but the bats unfortunately did not come alive during the game… The Titans played a great tournament, and certainly have nothing to hang their heads over.
The coaches were once again proud of the effort shown by the kids, and are looking forward to a hopeful rematch with Riverside at the upcoming Riverside tournament from August 16-18.
Congratulations boys!
