Minor Mosquito 10U (Sarnia Braves Minor Baseball Association)

In these uncertain Covid times, the usual Provincial Championships that are held yearly on the September long weekend are being replaced by a modified tournament format known as August Madness. Our 10U Boys started off the tournament with two wins on Saturday against the Mississauga South West Twins. In Game 1, Mississauga scored four runs in the first inning, but Sarnia battled to win 15-6 on the strength of 19 hits and 9 strikeouts.

SBC 10U built a five-run lead in the fourth inning and then held off Wyoming's charge for an 8-7 victory on Tuesday night at beautiful Centennial Diamond. The Wranglers scored four runs in the failed comeback on a home run in the fourth and a steal to home plate in the sixth.

Despite a 5-run deficit after two innings, our 10U boys almost came all the way back, eventually falling 12-11 to the Alvinston Riverhawks 11U on Monday night. Our boys managed eight runs in the failed comeback.

Sarnia Brigade 10th Annual Baseball Camp 2021 Who: Players ages 6 through 12 (birth years 2009-2014) or 7U to 12U What: 4-day camp at Clearwater Baseball Diamonds (includes detailed baseball skill instruction from 9:30-12:30 followed by lunch then cooperative games in the afternoons 1:00 to 2:30; and a Hit / Run/ Throw Contest with prizes followed by take-out lunch provided by Brownstones on Thursday).

While decreasing Covid restrictions finally has us feeling like we have some control over our lives, one thing remains beyond our control: the weather. We have already seen the nullification of most of our schedules during the past 16 months. The last thing that coaches and players want is more cancellations.
