Baseball Oshawa was proud to be the host of not one, but two of the 2024 season EOBA playdown weekends. 

8U Oshawa Legionaires Host Playdown Weekend

The weekend of August 9-11, 2024, Baseball Oshawa's 8U A team were gracious hosts of EOBA playdowns. With the privilege of Babcock Field, Durham College as the main diamond for the weekend, seven teams participated, all bringing their best to claim the EOBA title and earn their spot in the OBA's. 

Oshawa played two games; first again Clarington and second against Peterborough. Both were well played games, the second game against Peterborough being decided by just one run, seeing Peterborough take the lead in the seventh inning! 

Pickering and Clarington both earned their spot in the OBA's, with Pickering claiming the title of EOBA Champions. 

A huge congratulations to Baseball Oshawa's 8U baseball family who not only hosted a weekend of great baseball, but also a barbecue, concession and raffle at the main diamond! #blueandgoldproud

11U AAA Legionaires Host EOBA Playdowns

Hosted at Babcock Field, Durham College, Baseball Oshawa's 11U AAA Oshawa Legionaires were amazing hosts of the EOBA playdowns. The weekend consisted of just five games, four teams, with that first place title anyone's to take! 

All of the first four games were hard fought, well played, with very competitive baseball  played by these 10 & 11 year old athletes! Oshawa played two of their best games of the season, one of which included a fight between the clock and consistent downpours. The twelve Legionaires on the field that weekend gave it their all, and should be nothing but proud of themselves and their teammates! At the conclusion of those four games, we were left with Whitby Canadians (undefeated) to face Pickering Red Sox for the title of EOBA Champions. The Whitby Canadians were dominant throughout the entire weekend, claiming first place in the EOBA!
