WINMAR claimed the 2023 Powell River Minor Baseball U13 league championship with a 13-5 win over Rivercity Mini Excavating at D.A. Evans Park on June 22.
Winning team members included players Logan Greenwood, Kaitlyn Doxee, Jack Baker, Ben Holler, Colby Hobbs, Rupert Thoms, Linden Frehlich, Pearson Coburn, Quinton Thrasher, James Barrows, Kirk Rockwell and Claire Karger, and coaches Brenden Frehlich, Aidan Hobbs and Jim Barrows.
After the game, all players in the U13 division gathered on the field to receive individual awards from team coaches and celebrate a great season in front of a large crowd of families and friends.
Although 13 runs was more than enough to ensure victory in the final game, 24 hours earlier, 13 proved to be one short in the third place game, when J&D Signs edged the Peak by a score of 14-13.
“It was such a great game and could have gone either way,” said U13 division manager Brandi Frehlich. “Both teams played so well in the third place game.”
Frehlich said the division is thankful for generous donations from FreshCo, West Wind Electrical and Batflip Sports toward the final games.
