OBA Championship Recap: 12U
On Labour Day weekend our 12U team travelled to Leamington for OBAs and came home as Champions!
Starting out on Friday morning, the team faced Lucan-Ilderton, a team they’ve beat twice in a tournament throughout the season. Unfortunately, the team couldn’t pull out the same fate, and suffered a 13-4 loss. Our Giants were able to rally for the second game of the day where they pulled off a 15-9 win over Wyoming.
On Saturday the team came out swinging, winning 12-1 over Midland Penetang before defeating Stratford 5-3.
On Sunday the team was up against Welland, winning the game 12-1.
At that point, a draw was needed to see who would need to face Lucan-Ilderton and who would get the bye to the Finals, and our Giants had luck on their side.
In the Finals, our Giants faced Welland, again, and although they got on the board first, the Junior Jackfish pulled ahead as they brought in two runs in the second. Thankfully, our Giants dug deep and went to work, winning 11-5.
Congrats on becoming OBA Champs, 12U.
