The Northumberland Jacks U11 Select are bringing home the hardware after an outstanding weekend at the St. Marys Tournament, held in the hometown of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

The Jacks battled through five hard-fought games over the three-day tournament, showcasing determination, teamwork, and exceptional baseball on both sides of the ball.

A tournament highlight came in the semifinal matchup against East Mountain, where pitcher Lukas Lorenz threw a dominant shutout performance to send the Jacks to the championship game.

In the final, the Jacks faced a strong West Hill squad but came out swinging. Their bats stayed hot while the defence played a solid game behind them, leading to an impressive 11-3 victory to claim the OBA House League Select Championship.

Several players delivered outstanding performances throughout the weekend. Tournament MVP honours went to Ethan Jackson, Lukas Lorenz, Eddie Moloney, and Noah Fuller, whose leadership and consistent play helped power the team to victory.

Special recognition also goes to the tournament award winners:
