Rexel Energy Thunder Crowned Local Minor League Champions!

On a picture-perfect spring night on June 16, two highly-competitive Rumford baseball teams went head-to-head in the final playoff game of the season competing for the title of Local Minor League Champions.

With fans packing The Kimberly Ann Rock complex and cheering on both teams, the excitement was intense. The nail-biting game could have gone either way. It was very close, with a tie or single run lead for most of it. By the sixth inning, Rexel Energy Thunder pulled ahead to clinch the title from Rumford Avenue N with a final score of 6-4.

It was the perfect ending to an amazing season for Rexel Energy Thunder. Starting in March with indoor practice and moving outdoors in April, Rexel Energy won 16 games this season against Rumford, Riverside, and Fox Point teams.

“I am so proud of our team,” said John Provencher, head coach and VP at Rexel Energy. “All of the players worked hard, improved their baseball skills, and truly came together as a team to have a phenomenal season."

The players and coaches celebrated immediately after the game. Later this summer, each Rexel Energy player will be recognized and receive a personalized trophy that includes their name and the team record of 16-1-2.

With the spring season over, Rumford Little League is now gearing up for a summer full of all-star baseball and tournaments. Congratulations to the Rexel Energy players and coaches, and to all the players who made the Rumford Little League summer all-star teams. To learn more, visit https://www.rumfordll.com.
