Stingers exit OBAs after nine-inning thriller
Sept. 5 - After losing their opening game of the OBA championship tournament Friday night to the Mississauga Tigers, 11-3, the Stingers Minor Peewees took league champion North York into extra innings Saturday. North York lost to Brampton, 4-3, on Friday and were pushed to the brink of elimination by the Stingers, who tied the score twice before falling 4-3 in the ninth.
Thanks to several sparkling defensive plays, especially by third-baseman/pitcher Ian Wilson, the Stingers kept the score close after North York opened with a two-run first inning. North York took the lead in the seventh, only to see it dissappear in the bottom of the inning.
The Stingers had the bases loaded in the seventh with none out but could only score one to send the game into extra innings.
The exciting final game took 2 hours 40 minutes to play but kept the waiting teams and spectators entertained until the final out.
After the game, the parents thanked coaches Greg Dennis, Segundo Gazmin, Ken Hutzol and Cameron McIvor for their work this season.
Stingers Minor Peewees finish as finalists in TBA final
Aug. 22 - Facing a team that only lost two games all season, the Stingers Minor Peewees battled hard in the second game of their best-of-three championship series against North York Saturday at Bond Park. After losing the opener 10-1, the squad took a 6-0 lead in game two but couldn't hold it and lost 8-6.
The Stingers 97s pulled off an amazing comeback Tuesday at Etobicoke's Millwood Park in the semi-final series.
The squad will play in the OBA championship tournament on Labour Day Weekend.
Minor Peewee Singers battle Brampton champs in Missy
Rain and wind made for an uncomfortable time at the team's first tournament of the season but that didn't stop coach Greg's squad from beating league rivals North Toronto 4-2 in an almost flawless outing by pitcher Nelson Yeh and holding eventual tourney champ Brampton to a 7-0 result. The Brampton game also featured a number of sucessful pick-off plays by the defence. A win over Markham at Nielson on Victoria Day night proved the team is coming together.
