House Select - Guelph U15 Junior Gators Etobicoke Tournament
The U15 Guelph Junior Gators competed in their very first tournament in Etobicoke on July 16!
Our U15 Junior Gators started out the day against Oakville. After a hard fought battle, Guelph fell 14-8. After they dusted themselves off, the came up against the Milton Bats. This game saw great defensive plays and outstanding sportsmanship from both sides. The Bats came out on top 13-8. Congratulations to the Milton Bats as they went on to win the tournament!
After a team bonding lunch break the Junior Gators were back on the field against North Bay. Excellent pitching and defensive play from the North Bay team toppled the gators 14-3. To wrap up the four game set, the Junior Gators faced the host Etobicoke team which were hot all tournament. Guelph held them to a tight game until the 4th inning and gave up some runs to fall 13-1.
Even though the scorecard didn't reflect, the U15 Junior Gators performed very well against some seasoned teams and competed all day long! They showed amazing sportsmanship towards their competition and team-mates. The coaching staff is very encouraged by the hustle, determination and overall play of the U15 Select team and are very proud of the poise the players showed all day! Keep up the good work!
Stay tuned as the U15 Junior Gators Select team certainly will be ready for competition at their next tournament in August!
