The U13 C Aces teams didn’t make it past the round robin at their provincial tournament in Delisle. Team Gordon ended the weekend with three losses, while Team Boulet finished with one win and two losses.

There is plenty more softball taking place in the coming weeks. The U17 B Girls provincial championship takes place next weekend in Regina. So does the U13 Girls tournament. The U15 A Girls provincial draw is in Prince Albert the weekend of July 19 along with the U15 Open Boys provincial event. Both the Aces and Astros will have teams in play.

In the coming days, Prince Albert will host some of the best men’s softball teams in the world for the WBSC Men’s Softball World Cup Group B qualifier. Opening ceremonies take place Wednesday with Team Canada taking on Team Hong Kong in the marquee matchup that evening. You can find ticket sales and more information here.
