The North Bay Bantam girls select team travelled down to participate in a tournament in Fenelon Falls on Saturday, June 15th.

The North Bay squad started off the tournament against a tough Stittsville team which included two very strong pitchers and could not muster any offence losing 15-0.

The second and third games however saw the girls getting their bats going and ended up beating the Host team Kawartha Krush.

The championship game was a back and forth affair all game and was tied 8-8 heading into the final inning.

The Blaze allowed 3 runs in the final inning but showed resiliency to come from behind and win 13-11 to claim the Bronze medal and B division championship.
