SOFTBALL
Under-10
Vince's Market beat Flemming Properties 11-7. The game came down to pitching, primarily in the first and third innings. Leah pitched a strong first inning allowing only one run. Josie went on to match Leah with her own one-run third inning. In the field, Nick made a couple of stops at second, which denied any further runs from coming in. In particular, he grabbed a fly ball on one hop and stepped on second to end the 3rd inning. At the plate, Vince's Market was led by Nathan with a two-run home-run in the first inning.
The Bradford Storm U10 division wrapped up during a beautiful weekend of baseball. The Storm came ready to play! Kumi Canada played some close games, but was eliminated in a tie-breaker by a late-surging Bradford Academy of Music. Vince’s Market took their strong regular season play into the playoffs, but lost in the semi-final. A great season from all of our teams and a huge thank you to everyone involved!
