| Posted Sep 12/13 - Season Recap |
As the season came to an abrupt end in early September, the Mudcats can look back and be proud of what they accomplished in 2013. 2nd place in the WSBL playoffs and 2nd place in a hardfought Provincial weekend which Mother Nature did not comply. There is lots to be proud about in that dugout! Certain standouts need mentioning are: Colin Waldner who boasted a 9-1 record (including playoffs and provincials). Kevin McNeill also led the league in RBI's & tied for HR's. Chris Leclerc was tied for the league lead with 7 doubles. All in all it was a great year and the Mudcats Community looks forward to years of great baseball from this group. Congrats and have a great offseason.
