| | The boys did it again!! They worked
hard and went undefeated to become Tournament CHAMPIONS once again.
The tournament had
12 teams competing in 3 divisions. In round robin play Phoenix handily beat both Sault Ste. Marie and Bolton. Their third
game was against Georgetown. This was a real battle with the boys doing everything they could to win. This third win declared
them division winners, advancing them to the semi-finals.
The tournament hosted a skills
competition on Saturday. All the boys participated in an event and a number of them came away with medals. Nicholas was third
in the longest throw competition and the Round the Horn team of Jason, Daniel, Joseph, Junya, Nicholas and Geoffrey also won
third. Our relay runners were not successful in placing in the top 3 but they all battled hard. Congrats to everyone for representing
Phoenix well!
The semi-finals saw Phoenix versus Burlington. The boys played a great
defensive game and their bats were in fine form. They started the game with a 8-4 lead in the 1st inning and kept adding runs
from there. Burlington couldn't keep their momentum going and were quickly silenced. Burlington was mercied at the end of
the 5th. Phoenix advanced to the finals.
The other semi-finals saw Newmarket, our league
rivals, face Whitby. Newmarket could not stand up to the pressure put on them by Whitby and was mercied. This set up the final
between Richmond Hill and Whitby. The boys had played Whitby a few times, and they had even played a tournament championship
game together. Whitby was determined to give Richmond Hill a battle. They came out swinging but were only able to score 1
run in the first inning. Phoenix's defense was great keeping them off the scoreboard for the remaining innings. Much like
the last championship game between the two teams, Phoenix mercied Whitby.
The team really
came together in this tournament. They showed a lot of heart and determination. Congratulations boys! Be proud
of being CHAMPIONS again! Go Phoenix Go !!!!!
