The 2008 AABC 16 & Under Tournament presented by Source for Sports proved to be a complete success!

Down to the last at bat, down by one with two out, Levi Westerlund stroked a two-run game-winning double off Okotoks star reliever Shawn Anderson and secured the AABC 16 & Under Championship for Medicine Hat.

Okotoks had just retaken a slim 7-6 lead after a bases clearing triple by shortstop Adam Romaniuk. Medicince Hat fought back in the bottom half of the inning to put three on base, which set up Westerlund for his 2-out game winning double.

The 8-7 victory over the Okotoks Junior Dawgs at Athletic Park provided an exciting end to the talent identification tournament.

Third-place went to Lethbridge Spitz Canadians after they topped Red Deer 8-5.

Grand Prairie topped winless Calgary 11-1 in the fifth place game.
