Game 4	vs Vaughan Vikings	10-4 Loss

  

For the first time in the teams history the team placed first in the YSBA Tier 1 Division. Congrats boys!

The first team RH faced was the Newmarket Hawks. Phoenix played a well disciplined game and were able to mercy Newmarket. Markham was able to defeat Vaughan in their game so this meant that RH's next opponent was Markham. Phoenix's defense was amazing and they kept the pressure on Markham to pull out their second win. With 2 wins the team was the only undefeated team.

Markham was unable to defeat Vaughan a second time which meant that Vaughan would advance to the finals against RH. Vaughan always gave Phoenix some trouble and this game was no different. Vaughan capitalized on a few key errors and Phoenix was not able to score enough runs. Vaughan won the game however they had to defeat RH twice. The next game followed but the team was unable to generate enough offense to beat Vaughan. Vaughan again won naming them the YSBA champions. The boys fought hard and should be proud of what they accomplished. Great work boys!

This tournament was the first one that was hosted by this team. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. The parents showed everyone that Richmond Hill is a great baseball town. Even after severe weather passed through directly before the Friday night games, the diamonds were impeccably groomed. Both Saturday and Sunday a BBQ was setup to provide easy access to food at any time. The team showed their support by going all the way to the finals. 

 

The tournament had 12 teams competing in 3 divisions. The team handily mercied both Lindsay and Martingrove. Georgetown had something to prove as RH had defeated them every meeting in 2006. Unfortunately RH's bats were lacking and Georgetown was able to win. Fortunately RH had the lowest runs scored against and advanced to the semi's as the wild card. Seeding of the 1st place teams saw Georgetown facing RH for the semi-final. 

 

The boys took to the field against Georgetown to show them the real RH team. RH won the game which advanced them to the final against the Brampton Royals. Brampton got a good start and unfortunately RH could not catch up. Brampton walked away as champions of the RH tournament. The boys played a spirited game but somehow couldn't muster the energy to battle the Royals. Good work boys!
