9U Playoff recap

by Matthew Martin

The 9U Cardinals played their first round playoff game against Wasaga Beach. The excitement of the playoffs seemed to be all the players needed to have one of their best of the year. The bats were really alive as Creemore had their highest scoring outing of the season. A 22-9 victory sent the Cardinals off to the second round. Players of the game were Noah, Theo, and Adair who all went an amazing 5/5 at the plate!

Creemore faced the top seeded Angus Avengers for their second round game. A really hard fought outing but Angus was on their game. A 13-7 loss was the result, although the players did great and, as always, had a lot of fun. Brett, Si, and Christien were awesome with the bat, going 3/3 and getting players of the game.

Final game of the playoffs was a big game against Everett in the final tournament. Creemore came so close but a loss in extra innings was the end of an amazing year for an amazing group of kids. Special thanks to Gavin and Nixon from the 8U New Lowell Knights for filling in on a short handed Creemore squad. Players of the game were Griffin, Adair and Gavin.

What a fun year it was for this group of kids. A young team that other coaches described as unrecognizable from the start of the year. All the parents and coaches were amazed at their eagerness to play and improve.
