The Rowdies emerged victorious with a 19-18 win in the final inning against Sox N Friends Sunday during the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League’s year-end tournament last weekend.
“We were losing the final game until the final inning where we scored six runs and held them to no runs in the final inning,” said Rowdies team member and league president Linda Barbondy. “It was a fantastic come back for the Rowdies.”
Fourteen teams competed in the tournament.
Barbondy said the tournament went well considering the weather and the fact that only half of the league’s teams were participating.
“We’ve actually got 30 teams in the league, but with the wildfires we were a little late in the season,” she said. “We only played 11 games this season.”
The tournament started Saturday morning with each team playing two seeding games to get placed in the A, B or C division.
Teams in the A Division were Rowdies, Rookies, Cowboys and NDNZ and Sox N Friends. In the B Division it was Sticks & Stones, Tolko Giants, Allcoballics, Tolko T 3’s, Highlife, Hellraisers and Giants and for the C Division it was the Angels, Status Eh Team and Esket’em competing.
The A Division winner was Rowdies beating Sox N Friends 19-18. The Rookies got third place.
In the B Division the winner was Hellraisers beating Highlife 12-7, with Giants taking third place
For C Division, the winner was Status beating Esket-Em 12-11, while the Angels got third place.
