Everyone loves a winner.
The Newmarket Hawks minor bantams for the second straight year have been named York Simcoe Baseball Association’s team of the year.
Managed by Doug Lunney, the Hawks were named the Baseball Ontario affiliate’s top team during Sunday’s YSBA annual general meeting.
Earlier named the Newmarket Baseball Association team of the year, the Hawks won the award based on winning the provincial triple-A title in September. Overall, the Newmarket squad finished the season with a 45-11-2 record.
The Hawks were named 2015 team of the year for YSBA and NBA. In that season, the team represented Ontario at the Baseball Canada championships and captured the prestigious CNE peewee tournament title.
