11U Conlin plays HOF HL tournament in St. Marys
Team 11U Conlin were in St. Marys this weekend playing in the U11 OBA House League tourney at the Hall of Fame complex and had a blast competing with 18 good teams from across Ontario. All games finished close within 2-4 runs.

The team had the opportunity to tour the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. A huge highlight was being part of the Challenger Game. Challenger Baseball Canada organizes opportunities for youth and adults with disabilities to play baseball. U11 Conlin was cheering on the Challenger team during their first game. As they were preparing to watch the the 2nd Challenger game, one of the organizers approached and asked if our team would be able to fill in and play. With the 30 degree heat it was too hot for many of the Challenger participants. Our boys and coaches enthusiastically jumped in and showed awesome sportsmanship playing along side the Challenger players! Way to represent the Athletics organization boys. We are proud of you. Go As Go!

Message received from a Challenger parent:
There was a team today at the Hall of Fame in St Mary’s.
These youth stepped up as fill ins and played against the Challenger team. I want to congratulate the league on having such amazing young men play. They showed grace and respect playing against the Challenger Baseball League. Probably not the speed of game they were used to. Kudos to that team in the yellow.
