Hamilton Mill Wins City Pickleball Finals in Thrilling Comeback
Hamilton Mill clinched the division title with a 73% win rate, earning the #1 seed and home court advantage. Despite injuries and setbacks—like Adrienne’s calf injury before the second round—teammates stepped up, with Mandi filling in and securing key wins. In the finals on May 19 at ITA, Hamilton Mill lost both the men’s and women’s lines, putting the championship on the line. But in a dramatic comeback, mixed pairs Christian & Joy and Stephen & Angela won six straight games to force a tie. In the tiebreaker, Christian and Stephen sealed the win 11-8, securing the City Finals championship for Hamilton Mill!
