The championship game of the inaugural “Heaters at Havenwood” tournament delivered an absolute classic between the Elkridge Canes and the HCYP Raiders 11u White.
After a hard-fought, emotionally draining battle that left players, coaches, and parents exhausted, the umpire called the game at the start of the sixth inning due to darkness. Without hesitation, both sides put the safety of their players first—that is true class.
Although the final score stood at 14-14, the coaches from both teams agreed there was no need to resume the game another day. By mutual agreement, the championship was decided by seeding, and congratulations go to the Elkridge Canes as champions of the first-ever 11u “Heaters at Havenwood” tournament.
To the HCYP Raiders 11u White: true class and true sportsmanship. In the end, an instant classic was born—a game these kids from both teams will share with friends at school and remember for a lifetime. That is the true purpose and lasting value of youth sports.
On behalf of Pasadena Baseball, thank you.
