New photo by Jonathan Green @ Midget girls conquer Kamloops while bantams take second in Squamish Jonathan Green SPORTS REPORTER - The Castlegar midget girls fast- pitch team put it all together over the weekend and came home from Kamloops with a provincial title. “We were firing on all cylin- ders,” coach John Kalesnikoff said. “We were not to be denied.” The girls went into Kamloops in search of the Midget Girls Provincial C Championship, as Led 15 other teams from across When all was said and done, the locals had probably given some of their opponents reason to take up croquet, as they won their eight games by a combined score of 120-18. “We really clobbered some teams,” Kalesnikoff said. “Our bats were really booming. “We scored almost every chance we got.” Kalesnikoff’s squad opened the round-robin portion of the tourna- ment with a convincing 16-1 win over a team from Langley. They ran into a brick wall the next game, losing a 7-6 extra in- ning heart-breaker to Richmond. “We just got off to a bad start,” Kalesnikoff said, adding that both the offence and defence took a nap against the Lower Mainland op- position. “Things just fell apart.” The girls retuned to form in the next two games, handing Coquit- lam and the host team losses by a total of 37-5, finishing the round- robin in third place and advancing to the six-team championship round. Kalesnikoff said although the Fastpitch femmes do city proud provincia entire team had a hand in taking the title, he credited pitcher Tamara Rezansoff with a lot of their success. “She made the margin of victo- ry what it was,” he said. “She gave need, as Tamara Rezansoff the the championship round was a re- match with Richmond. But the locals came out on top this time, as they did in subse- quent action against Guildford ly and previously undefeated Qualicum, all by the combined score of 28-3. The stage was set for the final against the fifth Lower Mainland team they would face during the championship, Victoria Drive of Vancouver, in a game that Kalesnikoff said summed up the whole trip. “It was the best game of the tournament,” he said. Continuing with the run pro- duction, the locals scored a 9-4 win over their big city opponent to take the title and give their coach a sense of satisfaction. “T’m pretty proud of the team and I think they’re proud of them- selves as well,” he said. Meanwhile, the Castlegar IECO bantam girls came up just short in their quest for a provin- cial C title in Squamish, falling 8- 1 to a team from Delta in the final. Need amo rtgage?
