Tournament Recap: 15U
This weekend the 15U team travelled to London to participate in the 8th Annual London Talons Tournament and came home as Champs!
Starting the tournament Friday afternoon, the Giants put up two runs in the first and, although the North London Nationals matched the runs during their at-bat, our Giants took the lead in the third inning and never looked back, winning 9-3.
On Saturday, eight runs per game was enough, as our Giants topped Waterdown Wolves 8-5 and Chatham Diamonds 8-4.
In the Semis on Sunday, our Giants opened the scoring in the top of the second and added another in the third. A strong fifth inning helped solidify the victory, with two insurance runs added in the seventh, winning 12-7 over Leamington Lakers.
In the Finals against Chatham Diamonds, the game was back-and-forth, with Chatham tying it in the fourth. Neither team allowed any runs in the fifth and sixth inning, making the run our Giants brought in during the seventh the go-ahead. In the bottom of the seventh, a ground out, a strikeout, and a fly out were enough to shut the Diamonds down, finishing the game 10-9.
Congrats, Giants!
