Midget Gators 1 Team goes undefeated!
Submitted By GMSA on Wednesday, June 6, 2018
The Guelph Gators Midget 1 girls fastball team, sponsored by Mark Wilson's Used Cars, brought home their first tournament win this past weekend by going undefeated at the Humber Classic.
Round robin play saw 5 wins and a tie and placed the Gators as the top seed on the Tier 1 side of the tournament. Wins over Milton, Ontario Yankees, Brampton Blazers - Alexander, UTM, Springfield and a tie with Quebec ensured a trip to the gold medal game and a rematch with a tough Brampton team.
The championship game was back and forth with the Blazers up by 3 heading into the bottom of the 7th. A "one batter at a time" attitude with lots of grit and determination saw the Gators load the bases with no outs. Enter 3rd year veteran Makayla Morrison and with one swing, a bases clearing triple to set up the nail-biting finish. Brampton then intentionally loaded the bases and after a put out at home, 1st year Ashley Coverdale stepped in to the batter box and with a keen eye and her red cape waving in the wind, draws a game and tournament winning walk.
Over the weekend, game MVP’s went to Brooke Billings (2), Jess Johnston, Aspen McLellan, Brooklyn Delion, Makayla Morrison and Emily Harron.
Tournament All-Star team awards to Jess Johnston and Brooke Billings.
Tournament MVP to Kaleigh MacIntyre.
