TORONTO, CANADA – Owen Taylor is one of the top baseball players in Canadian college baseball explaining how he ended up at the University of Toronto.

He recently led his team to an Ontario University Athletics title, hitting a double for the go-ahead RBI in the title game and coming in to pitch a perfect 9th inning, striking out two to lock up the championship for his team.

Before he won a title for UT, he was a freshman transitioning from rural Pennsylvania to big city Toronto.

Taylor was able to overcome his culture shock and have an immediate impact on the Toronto Varsity Blues baseball team, stepping in as one of their best players from day one.

KK Deans had a near triple-double for the Rebels with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Kharyssa Richardson added 16 points to help the Rebels get the win.

The game was never in doubt as the rebels jumped out to an 11-point lead to end the first quarter, never looking back.

Coach Yo and the Rebels’ next game will be right here at home at the Battle 4 Atlantis against Howard University on Saturday.
