Two Abbotsford Junior Cardinals claimed gold with Team BC at the Western Canada Summer Games on Sunday.

Team BC played six games, finishing 5-1 through the tournament. They notched the most runs of the four participating provinces at 53 and managed the least runs-against with 17.

B.C.’s only loss came to Alberta in the round-robin stage.

Bass and Smith joined up with Team BC following their B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League playoff run that ended with their club finishing fourth with a 2-3 record.
