This past weekend the 15U team (sponsored by Kaley's Restaurant And Kaley's Kakes) travelled down the road to Tillsonburg to compete in the 15U Rep A and Below Tournament and came home as Finalists.
Facing the St. Catharines Cobras on Friday, the team got out to an early lead and, although they allowed three runs throughout the game, kept adding their own, ending the game with a 17-3 win.
Back at it on Saturday, the team faced the hometown Tillsonburg Otters. The Otters got on the board first, but the Giants answered back, big, in the bottom of the second to take the lead and maintained it throughout, taking the game 18-8. In the second game of the day, the Giants faced the London Tincaps. The Giants got on the board in the bottom of the first with one run, and the Timcaps answered back with one of their own in the second. The game remained tied until the fifth inning when London scored one run, but our Giants answered back with three. Although they battled for the next few innings, the Giants came out on top, winning 7-4.
In the Semis on Sunday, the Giants had a rematch against Tillsonburg. Although the weather was cooler, the bats were still hot as the Giants brought in sixteen runs in their 16-6 win. In the Finals against Chatham Diamonds, the Giants brought in six runs in eight hits, but came up short, finishing the game 14-6.
Congrats on a successful weekend, Giants!
