“We just battled and we always came up with clutch hits or a big play when we needed to,” Cey said. “Even when we were down, we never felt like we were out of a ball game.”

The NSRBL league championship comes less than a week after the Brewers won the 2016 Senior AA Tier 3 Provincials eight-team championship in Rosetown.

“It’s been a tough go, a lot of baseball’s been played but the guys stuck with it with a little bit of pain and did what they had to do to get to the next level,” Cey said.

The Wilkie squad is celebrating and soaking in this year’s championship but Cey said the Brewers are already looking towards a repeat.

“I know a few guys have hinted about retirement and this and that, but I know a lot of the core guys are ready and excited to see what next year brings and hopefully do the same things next year,” he said.
