It was the comeback of the ages that produced a thrilling tournament victory in Newton for the Tsawwassen Athletics.
The 13U Pee Wee AA baseball team is Ross Tournament champions following a pair of improbable playoff wins.
The Athletics looked like they would be settling for silver when the Cowichan Valley Mustangs took a commanding 13-4 lead into the bottom of the seventh and final inning. Instead, the Tsawwassen bats came to life in a big way, including a grand slam home run to pull out a 14-13 win.
There were earlier heroics in the semi-finals as well with the A's forcing extra innings by scoring four in the sixth, thanks to another grand slam home run. They went on to win 7-5 in eight innings.
The team includes: Nolan Wrathall, Gavin Wood, Kyle Losse, Will Andersen, Ryan Heppner, Adam Simpkin, Declan Dunn, Cooper Loewen, Declan Speiran, and Lucas Nobbs.
The coaching staff features Brian Losse, Dave Wood and Greg Heppner.
