Yes, the older Hawks team, con- sisting mainly of players born in 1992, won the game 9-2 over their mostly 15-year-old counterparts from Halton Hills, but as the gold and sil- ver medal winners, both sides earned the opportunity to play in the 2009 United States Fastball Association World Series event in Panama City, Fla. Fifteen teams were entered in the qualifier for the Tier II bantam cate- gory, playing in three pools of five. The 92 Hawks cruised through their preliminary round undefeated, beating the Cambridge Coyotes 5-1, the Napanee Express 10-0, the Ancaster Blizzard 13-7 and the Oak Ridges Diamonds 7-2, earning first place in their pool. The 93 Hawks beat Mississauga Southwest 9-2, St. Catharines Storm 10-0, the Kitchener Klassics 8-2 and lost to the Pickering Heat 7-2, but still picked up the lone wild card berth into the semifinals. Coach Rich Besworths 92 squad edged another unbeaten team, Pickering, 3-2 in the final four, while bench boss Janet Allisons 93 birth dates upset Ajax 4-3 in extra innings. As well as getting a chance to enter the 2009 competition, coach Allisons team will also play in the 2008 NSA World Series A under-14 division tournament in Columbus, Ohio July 20-26 after successfully qualifying for the event last summer. After facing each other in the finals at a recent 2009 USFA World Series qualifier in Mississauga, the two Halton Hills bantam Hawks teams got together for a group photo, thrilled to know that theyll both have a chance to play in the prestigious fastpitch tournament next year in Florida thanks to their 1-2 finish.
