Local players named all-stars

Three graduates of Leamington Minor Baseball have been honoured with awards as part of the St. Clair College Saints baseball program after the Saints won the OCAA championship on the weekend, beating Lambton College in the finals. The three players came up together in the Leamington system before joining the Windsor Selects program post-COVID. Pitcher Brady Knelsen (right) was named the OCAA Pitcher of the Year and was a first-team all-star, going 6-0 with a sparkling 0.40 ERA. Outfielder Andrew Sleiman (middle) batted .486 over 15 games with 10 RBIs to be named the OCAA Batting Champion and a first-team all-star. Infielder Kanaan Gale (left) was named a second team all-star after batting .344 with nine RBIs in 13 games with the Saints.
