Weekend Filled With Playoff Excitement!
September 16, 2007: It began Friday night with a game that determined the matchups for Saturday. On Saturday 8 teams played quarter final matches with the winners advancing to the semifinal games on Sunday morning. By Sunday afternoon, only two teams remained in contention for the championship of High Park T-Ball.
The weekend was full of excitement. The outfielders surprised hitters by catching fly balls. Two teams turned triple plays to snuff out rallies. Infielders made diving catches and perfect throws to keep the scores low. Yet despite the great defense many runners beat out infield hits, others drove line drives throught the infield, and several players scored inside the park home runs.

Park Braves Repeat as Winners of Ancaster World T-Ball Tournament
August 6, 2007: Although High Park teams have won the Ancaster World T-Ball championship ten times in the past fifteen years, every year a new group of eight-year-old players has to face their own challenges. On Civic Holiday Monday, the High Park T-Ball Braves faced a strong Windsor South Canadians team in the final game of the 2007 Ancaster tournament.
After four innings of well-played, exciting T-Ball, Windsor held a one-run lead going into the fifth. With the game on the line, the Braves defense came to life and held the Canadians to just 2 runs in the top of the inning. In the bottom of the inning the first three batters reached base safely, but only two scored, as Windsor players caught a fly ball and a line drive. Then, with a runner on third, a High Park single scored the tying run, and a hit to deep centre field brought High Park its second championship in two years.
Thanks again to the wonderful volunteers at Ancaster who make the World T-Ball Tournament possible.
