It was a nice way to end the season with a kids vs. parents game. The parents came suited up, determined and ready to play. The kids (young ladies) were there to have some fun and a few giggles. The parents took an early lead but the kids rallied back ending the game in a 7-7 tie in the 6th inning. Unfortunately, after a Snapchat playback review that was also shared on Instagram of a questionable parents inning at bat, an illegal batting position was used which nullified 2 runs for the parents. This gave the kids the official win of 7-5. Sorry parents, maybe next year? Congratulations parents and kids for a game well played!

_Gold medals are not made of gold. They are made of hard work, sweat, determination and a hard to find trait called 220,…110% effort 110% of the time. Congratulations girls, coaches and parents!

In their first tournament of the season, the U12 Select girls, the White Diamonds coached by Steve and Tonia Sarkissian proudly represented Richmond Hill in our home tournament at Richvale Athletic Park on Saturday, June 25. Despite being a younger team for this division, the girls played tough. Going into their final round robin game they knew the standings were close. With perseverance and tenacity and snazzy good looks in their white sunglasses, they hammered out a win to advance to the bronze medal game. The White Diamonds placed fourth out of eight teams. Congratulations to the coaches, girls and parents!
