The North Bay 15U Panthers came home with the silver medal after an amazing showing at the Bradford Fathers Day Tournament.
The boys were down 3 players for their first game on Friday night against Thorold but still came away with a 26-7 victory.
Great pitching all around and the bats were on fire right from the start.
That continued in Game 2 against Caledon on Saturday morning where they again were victorious with a 20-5 win.
Game 3 was Saturday night against a talented team from Oakville. It was a tight game from the very start, a pitching dual and defensive clinic by both teams. The game came down to the wire and the U15 North Bay Panthers found a way to put on one more run in a walk-off 2-1 victory.
With their 3-0 record the U15 Panthers won their pool and advanced to the semi-finals where they faced the Sault Ste Marie U15 Selects Sunday morning.
It was a tight game from the very beginning, both teams were crushing the ball, pitchers were battling and defence was on point too. In a thriller, the North Bay U15 Panthers won in an extra inning walk-off again, this time 10-9.
This paved their way to a rematch with Oakville in the finals.
Both teams battled hard, hitting was strong once again and Oakville came on top with a high-scoring 31-20 victory over the North Bay U15 Panthers.
