Lewis on track with Rails and Thunder

Will Lewis knows what he wants to accomplish. "I want to be a collegiate baseball player."

In order to put himself on the right track to achieving that goal the 18-year old has been crossing the border to play for a tournament team called the Lincoln Park Rails. "We play in six tournaments in the Michigan and Ohio area." said Lewis who feels his development has taken a big step forward since joining the Rails. "100%. My body feels great. It's really moving well. My off-speed pitches have developed a ton."


The Rails have won two out of the five tournaments they've entered this season including the recent No Doubt Showcase at Jimmy Johns Field in Utica, Michigan. "It was a super cool field. It was a huge ballpark. Somewhere I really enjoyed playing." Lewis said of the United Shores Professional Baseball League stadium.


After helping the Villanova Wildcats win OFSSA silver this spring Lewis has been splitting his time with the Rails and with the Tecumseh Thunder U18's. "They done so much for me the past few weeks being able to come out and practice with some of them." said Lewis who is playing in a tournament with the team this weekend in Michigan. "Coach (Dave) Cooper has been great."

Now a recent high school graduate, Lewis is taking what he calls a "gap year" to improve his game. "Doing a lot of throwing. Just trying to throw a little bit harder going into next year where hopefully I can find a school for myself."


His last weekend with the Rails is July 22nd. He'll join the Thunder for the Ontario Elimination tournament the first week of August. "Lots of innings up for grabs and hopefully a lot of championships to win."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

​

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

​​​​

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

​

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
