The OWBL will be hosting the 2014 Can-Am Challenge in Toronto, ON through July 5th to 7th. The 2014 tournament director has yet to be announced but we look forward to another great international tournament in Toronto! More news to follow on the Can-Am Challenge 2014 in the upcoming weeks.

The OWGL’s rep team, the Toronto Fusion, are looking forward to another good season coached once again by Greg Harper and Gary O’Donnell. The Fusion plans to participate in the 2014 Baltimore Diamond Classic in Baltimore, MD (May 23-26) and the Can-Am Challenge 2014 in Toronto (July 5–7). Additionally, the Toronto Fusion is planning on entering into a midget boys loop in the Royal York Baseball League this season. Open tryouts for the Toronto Fusion will be held in early spring. Be sure to check back for tryout details.

Overall it was a very successful evening and we are all looking forward to an exciting 2014 season. Good luck!

The championship final was held on September 10, 2013 against Royal York at Connorvale Park. It was a well played game by both teams but Annette came out on top of a game that was decided by one run. This is Annette’s 4th consecutive championship win.

We are proud of all teams who participated in the 2013 OWBL season and look forward to coming back next summer!
