Under-15 champions last year, the Hamilton-based Thunderbirds leave for the United States on a winning note after capturing the Can-Am Classic in dramatic fashion Sunday afternoon in Hamilton.
One strike away from defeat in the championship game, the Thunderbirds pulled off a 3-2 victory over the Long Island Tigers West.
The Thunderbirds strung together two hits, two walks and a hit batsman to turn a 2-1 deficit into the win.
Making the trip to Nashville are Mississaugans Mitchell Habib, Jordan Petruska and Dana Tenenbaum.
