Players on the team are from Mount Forest, Cargill, Chesley, Walkerton, Brussels, Drayton, Moorefield and Palmerston. 21 other teams from across the country partici- pated in the championships including teams from British Columbia, Quebec, PEI, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The week of round robin play got off to a rocky start with three losses up on the board for the Marlins. However, the Marlins being the fighting fish and in true Marlin team spirit fought back to win the next three games and put up some great scores to advance them to the semi-finals against Chilliwack, B.C. who had dominated them in the round robin play. With everyone at home cheering them on, the girls overcame Chilliwack to advance to the gold medal game. What an amazing feat for a team from the small Ontario town of Palm- erston to be playing in the amazing facility called Softball City and have a chance to play for gold. Temperatures rose to 30 degrees throughout the week but the girls kept their cool and battled the Delta Heat team from B.C. The coaches, parents, family and friends are extremely proud of these young talented athletes for their com- mitment to the game, their sportsman- ship and pride in playing for our prov- ince and for bringing home the silver medal. Not only did the novice girls bring home silver but they were awarded the team spirit award and trophy for their tremendous spirit and support of all the teams as they cheered them on, gave out Marlin, Minto and Ontario pins as well as gifts to each team and for sharing their outstanding skill of accomplishing a team push up. Thank you to all of the sponsors, including D&D Glass & Mirror in Vanastra and MGM Townsend Tire in Londesboro, family and friends who helped make this incredible journey to the national championships a reality and memory that will never be forgotten! inline clintonnewsrecord.com Get all of your news, sports and more.
