Kamloops RiverDogs make history, win BC Baseball College Prep League title
KAMLOOPS — Yeah Glo! by GloRilla will be pounding this weekend on Vancouver Island if the Kamloops RiverDogs have their way.
The song that has more than 47-million views on YouTube became the club’s anthem en route to a momentous victory last weekend in Nanaimo, where the RiverDogs became the first team from Kamloops to win the BC Baseball 18-and-Under College Prep Division – the top circuit in that age group in the province.
“It came on every pre-game [batting practice]. Lots of Rihanna, too,” said Grady Johnson, catcher/third-baseman for the Dogs. “Going into it with the one seed, we had a big target on our back. With the way that we were able to perform to the level we knew we could and then to get it done, especially with this small group we had, we’re excited.”
The RiverDogs finished atop league standings with a 23-10 record and edged the defending-champion Ridge Meadows Royals 3-2 in the provincial final, thanks in part to a bases-loaded double in the bottom of the fifth inning that scored two runs.
