McFarland: "Touch'em all, Crow!" Dawgs star's walk-off cements his spot in WCBL history
"Connor Crowson had always dreamed of hitting a big home run in his hometown Seaman Stadium.
Little did he know, the Okotoks native saved his best moment for the last of the 2024 Western Canadian Baseball League season.
In the bottom of the ninth of the championship series against the Moose Jaw Miller Express, Crowson stepped into the batter’s box with the score tied 5-5.
Knowing that the Miller Express pitchers had been attacking him low and outside, he had his sights set on driving a pitch hard and getting on-base.
He found that pitch on a 1-1 offering from Takao Cookson and sent the baseball to the deepest part of the park, clearing the fence for the walk-off series-clinching home run."

Verge: Ontario champs Etobicoke Rangers with heartbeat off to nationals on The Rock
“The 17-year-old heartbeat of the Etobicoke Rangers is taking flight to his favourite destination Wednesday:
A ball field.
Although Nolan Walsh has never played on one in St. John’s Nfld. before, or at the 18U National Championships, he’s been around the game long enough to know.
Over every other place, he’d choose a ball field every time.
“There’s just nowhere else I’d rather be [and] no better group to be with,” Walsh said, who alternates between playing centre field and as a left-handed starter on the mound for Etobicoke.
Walsh and the Rangers solidified their spot representing Ontario at 18U Nationals in St. John’s earlier this month, when they won the Ontario Baseball Association eliminations tournament. The Rangers dominated, going 6-0.”

Elliott: Cheong excels at Area Code Games - Updated
“The ink is barely dry on contracts signed by 2024 draft selections.
The hunt to find the best draft-eligible high schoolers began first at the East Coast Pro Showcase in Hoover, Ala. and then 240 of the best high school players in North America were invited to the Area Code Games at Blair Field in Long Beach, Calif.
Over the years Canuck hitters, all three Naylor brothers – Josh, Bo and Myles (Mississauga, Ont.), 1B Scott Thorman (Cambridge, Ont.) and Gareth Morgan (North York, Ont.) have put on some memorable displays of power.
It wasn't so much of a power display when scouts gathered, but rather a complete game on display by Philip Cheong of the Ontario Blue Jays.”
