South Australia Win Gold at U16 National Youth Champs

Baseball Victoria
21 January 2016

For the first time in 37 years, South Australia's U16's have taken out the title of 2016 National Youth Champions, after defeating Victoria Blue 7 to 4 at Blue Sox Stadium, Monday 18 January.

Vic Blue had a clear advantage, having beaten the South Australian's twice leading into the gold medal decider, but nothing could stop the power hitting of the SA U16 Bite, with the score at the bottom of the second 6 to 0. Proving their defensive game was as strong as their offensive, they kept Vic Blue scoreless until the bottom of the 5th, which proved enough to secure the victory.

Western Australia dominated Victoria White in the Bronze Medal match up with a convincing 8 to 0 score line to round out the top three placing.
