Awesome pitching led the way to Victory for the Sooke Squirt C Boys Team.

The Squirt C boys of the Sooke Minor Fastball Association had shining bats and stellar pitching which led the team to victory over Gordon Head 11-8 on Saturday May 17.

Eyes were sharp during the games as well as swings at balls were minimal and the boys earned base-on-balls. It was a sunny and beautiful afternoon in Gordon Head on the field and the boys enjoyed the challenge of fastball while their younger sisters and brothers played at the park just beyond right field without a care in the world.
