Western Canadian Fastpitch Championships to hit the Battlefords
Boys and girls softball teams will converge on the Battleford Flats ball diamonds this summer for the U-14 Western Canadian Fastpitch Championships from August 4-7.
This will be the second time in four summers the Battlefords will have an opportunity to host a Western Championships, as they hosted the U-18 tournament in 2014.
“This will help minor ball here a lot,” Battlefords Minor Softball Association vice-president Chris Belanger said. “It’s a huge event. It takes lots of organizing and preparing for it but the fundraising we do and the money it will bring in for minor softball is great.”
Belanger said they were told they would be hosting at the end of January.
