The North Langley Dodgers capped a great year in style, during a tournament involving Langley and North Langley 11/12 Majors baseball teams.
In an all North Langley final, the Dodgers, who finished with a 12-2-2 overall record, clipped the Blue Jays 8-7.
It was a rematch of the first game of the tournament, in which the Dodgers rally from an 8-5 deficit to win 12-8, by scoring seven runs over the last two innings.
In their second game, the Dodgers defeated the Langley City Braves 5-2.
The Dodgers’ last game of the round robin portion of the tournament was against the Langley City Dodgers.
Going into the fourth inning, the Dodgers trailed 9-6 to their Langley City namesakes.
But in the final two innings North Langley rallied to score four runs and win 10-9.
The victory gave the Dodgers an automatic bye into the championship game.
The final was without a doubt the best game of the tournament.
The Dodgers jumped out to an early 4-1 lead but saw it slip away and going into the sixth inning, the game was tied 7-7.
North Langley then put two runners on and with a single to right field by Calob Gallowan, earned the win.
