This was truly a team effort as all players contributed to the successful weekend. Batters showed patience, power and clutch hitting in key situations. The highlight hit of the weekend was a sweet, monster home run by Tanner. But it was also a key bunt layed down by Chase to score the winning run in the championship game that was a key factor.
Base-runners showed savvy smarts throughout the weekend as they kept the opposing pitchers and catchers busy and pre-occupied as the Angels stole bases once again in key situations.
Our pitchers all pitched well. When opponents threatened to score, the pitchers bore down and came back strong.
The always impressive Angels defence once again showed why they are a difficult team to score against. The stingy defence held opposing teams to a total of 4 runs over the entire five games. In contrast, the Angels offence scored 50 runs in total.
It was also a great family weekend all players, siblings and parents enjoyed. The Abby Pee Wee AAA team also won their division so it made a very successful weekend for Abbotsford baseball.
Special thanks to all the parents and families who came to support team. Angels players should be very proud of this accomplishment. Take a moment to savour the win but then get back to business this week as there are some key games to be played! Check out the "Photos" section to see pictures of weekend action. Sorry, no batting photos this time as our staff photographer was busy coaching 1st!
Go Angels.
