Cardinals claimed the club championship award with their under 12s Maroon side beating clubmates Gold 7-3 in the grand final.
Camden Red Sox beat Chiefs Gold 4-3 in an excellent under 14s decider while the previous week Pirates beat Cardinals 5-2 in the combined under 16 and 17s division.
A full morning of grand final fun at Fred Finch Park also featured Illawarra baseball's youngest players enjoying a Zooka and Red Frog gala day.
The under 10s Zooka ball featured five teams who played three games, with Pirates Gold edging out their fellow unbeaten clubmates as the top side on run differential. Nine teams played two games each in the under 8s Red Frog gala day with Pirates Blue, Chiefs Rascals and Pirates Gold unbeaten.
Pirates Blue won the gala day after a +19 run margin, with Rascals second (+11 runs) and Pirates Gold third (+7).
Grand final day also honoured two of the outstanding players in junior baseball this season.
Young Pirate Callum Donnelly won the Most Valuable Player award for Non Pitchball, with Chiefs' Dylan Teixeira the Pitchball MVP.
A new season of Sunday morning baseball begins in October.
