VICTORIA, BC–Hosts Layritz LL of Victoria, BC are the pacesetters after Sunday at the Canadian Little League Championship in Victoria. Our own Gerrit te Hennepe has been taking snaps of the action (as his grandson is on the Little Mountain LL team from Vancouver). Vancouver are currently 4-1 in the round robin at the time of this posting.
It was the hosts who dealt Vancouver their first loss in the tournament on Thursday with a 4-3 decision, but the team from across the Strait of Georgia rebounded with a 7-1 win over the Toronto High Park LL on Friday and then a 16-1 win over Calgary Rocky Mountain.
Layritz followed up their Thursday win with a 5-3 win on Saturday against the Diamond Baseball LL of Mirabel, Quebec. Layritz are due to play Toronto later on Sunday night.
