Junior Rookie Hardball
Bradford teams finished third and second in this division.

Bantam Hardball
Bradford No. 2 beat Bradford No. 1 12-7.
Alex S. needed only 45 pitches to retire nine opposing batters.
Alex and Christian got on base for all three of their turns at bat, giving the offence a boost. A very strong defensive game with catcher Davonte throwing out base runners stealing home twice on past balls, also a runner stealing second and third!
The next night, Bradford No. 2 beat Bradford No. 1 in a close 9-6 game.
Aggressive base running and taking advantage of a couple misplays may have been the difference in this game.
A closely fought contest saw Nathan P. throw some consistent strikes for most of his innings. Once again, a big thanks goes to Alex and Seth for jumping up a division from Peewee to help seal the win.
