The 9U Rookie, River League Tournament, was won by the Wallaceburg Warriors Team #1 with a record of 5-0 this weekend.
They met a very difficult Dresden team in the Championship game. The Warriors were down by a score of 17-13 going into their final at bat. However, the bats came alive, and they were able to score 5 runs to win the game 18-17.
Hunter Shipman had the game winning double. Lucas Leibert scored the winning run. Mason Alves was named player of the game as he lead the team going 4-4 with 6 RBIs. Liam O’Neil, Liam Gray, and Easton Mitchell also made major contributions in the field and at the plate.
First year baseball players Ben Huctwith, Lucas O’Neil, Wes White, Emmett Dionne, Liam Chandler, and Brayden Oliver displayed immense growth and also made clutch plays throughout the weekend.
