At the Ontario Select Softball Tournament Association tournament in Brantford the Frontenac bantam girls went 5-1-1 over the weekend of Aug 18-19.
In their own group pool, they beat teams from Barrie and Innerkip, and tied Waterloo.
They then went on to beat Sudbury 12-6 on Sunday morning to advance to quarter finals, where they scored 6 runs in their last at bat to beat Whitby 12-7.
In the semi final game they once again came from behind scoring 5 runs in the top
Of the 7 inning to beat Topham park 11-10.
Unfortunately they were unable to keep the momentum going in their 4th straight game, losing to Brampton 11-6 in the gold medal game.
The team consists of 15-16 year old girls from throughout the area and who have worked very hard over the past couple of years and to see their hard work pay off was a great experience. After finishing 7th a year ago the goal was to place in the top 4. The girls couldn’t be happier with a second place finish. Thank you to their coaches Gerard McKenna, Cory Gee and Steve Caird for helping them achieve their goals. Team members include: Cam McClelland (Verona),Keely Myers (Sydenham), Kenzie Gee (Sydenham), Aleasha Caird (Joyceville), Leah Scott (Joyceville), Jemma Gower (Perth Rd), Kya Funk (Kingston), Liv McEwen (Joyceville), Bridgette Donovan (Gananoque) and Ivie Stewart-Smith.
