    Jul 9 2026
    Episode 5 of season 2 dives into two standout tournament stories shaping the 2026 amateur baseball landscape.

    First, the St. Albert Tigers roll through their invitational, ending an 11‑year drought behind elite pitching depth, a surging college‑aged core, and a roster so deep they fielded two competitive squads.

    Head coach Brad Wolansky and MVP catcher Kelan Polard break down the chemistry, the competition, and the Sunburst League dominance that has them sitting at 8–0 and eyeing future Canadians berths in 2027 and 2029.

    Then the spotlight shifts east as Sarnia Brigade 22U head coach Brett Brydges walks through their unconventional—but victorious—run at the Rudy Godwin Memorial Tournament.

    With players moving between junior and senior squads, Sarnia’s development pipeline is becoming one of the most interesting models in Ontario baseball.

    Across both segments, listeners get a mix of tournament recap, league context, player insight, and national‑level implications—plus a preview of the packed summer ahead: more tournaments, playoff races, and the Ontario qualifying weekend in Windsor.
