The London West Tincaps (U11) team continued their dominance at the Greater Niagara Baseball tournament which ran from June 15-17 in Niagara Falls. The tournament included some of the best teams in the province. The defending provincial OBA champions London Tincaps played extremely well throughout the tournament winning all of their games in convincing fashion which included a win against a previously unbeaten Niagara Falls team in the round-robin.
In the semi-finals, the Tincaps played a hard-fought game against the Kitchener Panthers, but prevailed 9-6 behind some strong hitting. In the Finals, the Tincaps led throughout behind strong pitching from Ben Adamson and Marcus Bonello and cruised to an 8-2 victory.
Marcus Bonello was named the Finals MVP for his strong pitching and Nick Petruzella was named tournament MVP for his tenacious base running and great fielding. All 12 players contributed to the victory and the coaches are extremely proud of the way they played on the field and the way they conducted themselves. The Tincaps have now won four straight tournaments they’ve been a part of dating back to last year, and look to continue their strong run throughout the summer.
