Mosquito Jays golden in Bolton tournament"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>By Jake Courtepatte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It may still be spring, but Aurora-King\u2019s boys of summer have already picked up some hardware.<br \/>\nA monumental rally in the tournament semifinal provided enough of a spark for the Aurora-King Minor Mosquito Jays to earn the title of Bolton Braves tournament champions, in their first major test of the 2018 baseball season.<br \/>\nEntering play on Friday, the Jays quickly established themselves as contenders with a 16 \u2013 1 win over Thornhill, though they returned to earth on Saturday morning after blowing a 5 \u2013 0 lead over Mississauga to drop their second game 7 \u2013 5.<br \/>\nClosing out the round robin schedule with an explosive 23 \u2013 2 win over Whitby on Saturday afternoon, the Jays set up a meeting with Oakville on Sunday in the semis.<br \/>\nFalling behind 9 \u2013 0, Aurora-King rallied late in the game to earn their third double-digit score of the tournament in a 12 \u2013 9 win, setting up a date with the hometown Braves in the afternoon\u2019s final.<br \/>\nA back-and-forth affair left the Jays with the win, and the championship, by a score of 5 \u2013 4.<br \/>\nCongratulations to Aaron Chiola, Cale Williams, Mack Stewart, Parker Bifolchi, Matthew Burdo, Luciano Montanaro, Luca Cutajar, Colin Ellsworth, Romeo Waghmare, Lincoln Glover, and Tyson Kushnir on the early season success.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single
