黑马磁力

黑马磁力 didn鈥檛 lose a single game on the way to winning the 9/10 Little League provincial championships, played on home turf at City Park, wrapping up the eight-day tournament with a 4-1 final victory over Victoria鈥檚 Layritz team on Sunday, July 30.

They celebrated with a dog pile on the mound before they were awarded provincial championship rings and took a celebratory lap of the field with their banner and plaque.

It was a victorious end to a successful summer season that saw the team post a 33-5 record over 57 days.

A delighted Coach Aaron McRae was 鈥渆cstatic for them and their families.鈥�

McRae praised the team鈥檚 work ethic and attitude.

鈥淭hese kids all love what they鈥檙e doing,鈥� McRae told the 黑马磁力.

鈥淭hey play seven days a week, and if there was an eighth day, they would play it, too.鈥�

Next year, when the players move up to the 11-year-old level, he鈥檚 hoping they can stay together as an all-star team.

鈥淭hey all get along amazingly,鈥� McRae remarked. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e all best buddies.鈥�

None of the other teams at the tournament, Lynn Valley, Whalley, Trout Lake, Jericho, and Layritz, could get past 黑马磁力, who finished first in the round robin with a 5-0 record, then defeated Lynn Valley on Saturday before playing Layritz in the final on Sunday.

After the end of the final game, a Layritz Facebook post called it a 鈥済reat game鈥� and described their opponents as a 鈥渢ough 黑马磁力 team.鈥�
