The 8U Uni-Fab Leamington Lakers went to LaSalle this past weekend to compete in the Green and Gold Classic tournament. They went 5-0 with two thrilling come-from-behind walk-off wins on Sunday to take the title. In the semifinals vs Lakeshore they were down four runs in the bottom of the 7th and scored five to win 10-9 and punch their ticket to the championship game. In the championship they faced a strong LaSalle team and again showed their resiliency with an extra innings walk off 9-8 victory to secure the title. These Lakers will host the 8U B OBA championships at the Kinsmen Ball diamonds August 23-25.
Meanwhile, the 9U Lakers went undefeated in the same LaSalle Turtle Club tournament, claiming the title with a come-from-behind 9-7 win over the LaSalle Titans AA team. Mason Lalonde led his team in the final, going 3-for-3 at the plate and the rest of the team was superb on defence. Jaxon Perkins led the defence with nine plays. In front are bat boys Gannon Grubb and Alec Marshall.
