August 20, 2014 · 0 Comments

The York Simcoe Regional Championships for Minor Mosquito Baseball were held this weekend with the Aurora Jays facing off against the Bolton Braves in a 2 out of 3 series to see who earned the right to represent York/Simcoe in the Ontario Baseball Association Provincial Championships (OBAs), Labour Day weekend in Woodstock, Ontario.

In their first game on Saturday morning, after a slow start and initially trailing 6-3, the Jays defence and offence kicked in and they rallied and won the game 16-6.

Game 2 was not played until Sunday morning due to rain and Aurora came out strong, staking an early lead. Although trailing early on, a very tough Bolton squad never gave up; however Aurora prevailed, ultimately winning the game 11-8 and taking the series 2 games to nil to be declared the York Simcoe champions and earning the right to represent York/Simcoe in the OBAs.

Congratulations and good luck in the Provincial Championships to team members Spencer Thomson, Matt Gianforcaro, Dylan Vasilevski, Jakob Israel, Griffin Kinahan, Sam White, Aidan Edmunds, Claire Johnson, Matt Keiser, Josh McLeod, Brayden Baird and Ethan Sanchez.
