When the infield dust finally settled after the last out, the Cardinals outshone their opposition by a combined score of 47-14. The girls garnered praise for their class and tenacity.

Congratulations to the girls, and also their coaches, Paul, Mike, Rob and Darren, and Manager Karen whose tireless effort and determination made it all possible! YOU GO GIRLS!
The 9U White Team Wins EBA’s Lloyd McConnie Memorial Tournament!
Thanks to a tremendously dedicated volunteer team led by Jack Gray, our boys enjoyed a great weekend of baseball. We sincerely appreciate all the volunteers’ commitment to making the weekend a success!
The boys demonstrated incredible resilience, winning two straight tournaments and a 5-0 record on the weekend! They outscored their opponents 102-15, with no teammates on the bench, battling the heat. Their sharp defence and top-to-bottom power are a great combo!
The team is eagerly anticipating their next challenges. The next tests will come at their last AAA tournament, followed by the EBAs and OBAs. They are excited to rise to the occasion and battle their EBA rivals again. However, their goal is not just to participate but to settle unfinished business at the OBAs!
Go Cards!
Royal York Cardinals 10UAA Win MNBA Tournament in Mississauga!
Through wind, heavy rain, sandstorms and multiple game delays, the boys in baby blue kept their focus, going undefeated in five games.
Facing tough rivals and tournament hosts the Mississauga North Tigers in the final, the ‘flock’ played tight D, pitching multiple three up three down innings. Up 4-3 in the seventh and final inning, the Cardinals won the game with hot bats and cool Kiermaier-worthy catches.
The Cardinals season continues into the summer on their way to the TBAs in August where they hope to add a few more rings to their fingers.
Go Cards!
12U AA Cardinals Claim First Tourney Title!
Congratulations to our Royal York Cardinals for taking the title at this year’s Brampton 12U AA Tournament from July 5-7.
Despite faltering out of the gates in a forgettable Friday performance, the team persevered. The countless hours of strength and conditioning training paid off as the team methodically mowed down the competition over the weekend.
When the dust settled, the Cardinals had won the final four games by a combined score of 68-16, including avenging their Friday loss with a decisive 18-9 victory in the finals over a tough squad from Markham.
Congratulations all – let’s keep building toward the playoffs!

The team played their best baseball of the year and was undefeated heading into the finals where they met up with an All Star team of AAA and AA players from the Western Ontario Baseball Association. Despite keeping it close for most of the game, the Cardinals would eventually fall to WOBA in the finals.
The team was fueled by clutch hits from players up and down the lineup all weekend, and stellar pitching performances from Jonathan Reiss, Ethan Correia and James Chiaramonte.
Great Tourney Cardinals!

The boys went 4-0 and outscored their opponents 63-15!

The boys played through the rain all four games, including an actual mud bowl, beating host Peterborough Tigers AAA 16-5.
The Pink in the Park Strike Out Cancer event, which the Cardinals marked by wearing pink hats and socks, was not just a tournament but a platform to support and spread awareness about breast cancer through baseball events.
