SOBA Tournament
The Rookie Red Select team's season has come to an end with a strong showing at the SOBA Provincial Tournament in Etobicoke this past weekend. 

The boys came hard out of the gate with an impressive 24-9, 5 inning win Friday night over the Kitchener Panthers.  The defense was stellar and the bats were very strong with all players registering hits and crossing the plate.  Game two was a "sleepy" loss Saturday morning versus eventual tournament champions, the Bloordale Bombers, with a final score of 19-4 in 5 innings.  The loss set up an elimination game against the Markham Mariners Saturday afternoon.  The boys rallied from their early morning loss and battled hard, but unfortunately dropped a nail biter 18-14 in 7 innings.  The coaches and parents couldn't be prouder of a group of players than this group.  The Rookie Red Mustangs showed that they not only deserved to be at the tournament but could compete with the best!  Great job Mustangs!!
