U13 Whitecaps get plaque on Wall of Champions

In a historic moment for Leamington’s sports community, the U13 Whitecaps girls fastpitch team unveiled their 2024 Provincial Grand Championship plaque at the Kinsmen Baseball Diamonds this past weekend. This marks the first time a Whitecaps team has earned a spot on the coveted Wall of Champions, solidifying their place in Leamington sports history.

The journey to this milestone was anything but smooth. The team faced a tough start to the season, battling through numerous challenges both on and off the field. Despite the setbacks, the Whitecaps displayed remarkable determination and unity. Key to their turnaround was a relentless focus on batting practice, which paid off as they raised their level of play just in time for the Provincial Women’s Softball Association (PWSA) Grand Championships in Tier II of the C division.

On August 11 at Mic Mac Park in Windsor, the Whitecaps showcased their newfound form, overwhelming their opponents to clinch the Provincial Grand Championship in dominant fashion.
