SCBA Championship Recap: 8U and 9U
Our 8U and 9U teams travelled to Aylmer this past weekend to compete in the SCBA Championships, and our 9U team came home as Champs!
With 8 teams participating in this double elimination tournament, there was some tough competition, but our teams took on the challenge!
Our 9U team started the tournament on Friday afternoon with a decisive 18-0 win over Ingersoll Ironbirds. The 8U team played their first game immediately after and, although they battled it out, they came up short with a 15-5 loss to Walsingham Senators.
Saturday morning saw the 8U team go up against Tillsonburg. Our Giants gave it a good run and took the game to extra innings, but came up short in a 14-13 loss … ending their tournament run.
In their second game of the tournament, the 9U team went up against Delhi and brought in multiple runs every inning to solidify their 16-5 victory. In the afternoon, our Giants kept fans on the edge of their seats as they allowed four runs in the sixth inning, but were able to come out with a 10-9 win over Walsingham.
Moving onto Sunday, the 9U team had a rematch with Walsingham. Although it took until the fourth inning for either team to bring in any runs, once our Giants got started, there was no turning back as they won the game 8-0.
Congrats to both teams for a great tournament, and a big congratulations to our 9U team for going undefeated this weekend and ending the season as SCBA Champs!
