Girls fastpitch wind-up dodges rain to produce champions

The LDMBA hosted the local league girls fastpitch finals over the weekend and despite Saturday being a washout, were able to get everything wrapped up by dinnertime on Sunday.

In the 13U division, MCC Thrift on Mill lost a heartbreaker in the final to Essex.

In the 10U Tier 2 division, Green Leaf Acres dropped a tough game to Essex in the final to finish as runners-up as well.

The lone champion from Leamington was Pier-C Produce, who defeated Kingsville in a close final game on diamond one on Sunday.

Convenor Mark Epplett and his crew should be commended on a successful second season of girls fastpitch, from which these players will graduate to the travel Whitecaps program as they progress.

The Pier-C Produce team took top honours in the Tier 1 10U division of the girls fast pitch wind-up on the weekend.
