2008 Achievements
Rookie Ball
Women Division
Midget
The RY Midgets won the TBA Midget AA Championship
defeating East York after previously eliminating North York.
This makes it 3 TBA Championships in a row for this team
(Minor Midget AA in 2006, Midget A in 2007 and now Midget AA
in 2008 ).
Minor Bantam
The RY Minor Bantam team won the TBA Minor Bantam A
Championship last weekend.
Mosquito
The RY Mosquito team won the TBA Mosquito A Championship
defeating North Toronto & Agincourt in the process.
Minor Mosquito
This year the Royal York Minor Mosquito took to the field
with focus and determination. The team achieved “AA” raking
by their regular season performance. For the TBA’s we played
North Toronto. In the three game series, both teams won a
game and in the third game at the end of seventh inning the
score was tied 5-5. Unfortunately for the Cardinals in the
bottom of the 8th inning NT drove in a run to win the game.
This was the most competitive and exciting game the team had
played all year and they should be congratulated for their
performance in the TBA finals.
In addition, the team also played in the Ontario Provincials
hosted in Stratford Ontario. The team played three amazing
games before being eliminated.
Throughout the season, the team played phenomenal baseball
and should be congratulated by being able to compete and win
at the “AA” level.
TBA Minor Bantam A Champs!!
