18U Rep are 2024 LDBA League Champs
After a very challenging regular season the 18U Rep team put together an unforgettable Cinderella run in the league playoffs.  Friday night the boys took a tough loss against Dorchester 8-3 but rebounded on Saturday.  The first game of the day was a hard fought win against the London West Tincaps by a score of 5-4.  The next game was another exciting one with the A's walking it off in the bottom of the 7th to beat St. Thomas 9-8.  

Sunday had the boys facing North London, who they had not beat all year.  Jumping out to a 7-1 lead the A's let the lead slip away until the game was tied 7-7.  Again, in the late innings,  some timely hitting and outstanding defensive plays, the boys came away with a 11-7 win.  The A's were fortunate to draw a bye to the final, where they faced a very good Wyoming team.  The final was a high scoring affair as both teams were deep into their pitching staffs.  The A's came out with a 17-12 victory to win the LDBA Championship.  Congratulations to the players and coaches!!
