August is playoff time for select and rep baseball teams across the province. This month we have seen many successful runs by Bloordale teams, including two Toronto Baseball Association (TBA) west championship teams.
The Bloordale Bombers Green 9U Select team wrapped up their season as champions. The Bombers were undefeated during the championship weekend, taking the TBA championship in the final against a very strong Royal York Cardinals (White) team.
We have great kids, great parents and 5 coaches who really get along well together. – David Kim, 14U A HC
Seven other Bloordale teams made it to the final game, three of whom will be playing in provincial championship tournaments on Labour Day weekend.
