The boys of summer are back, as the Santa Clara Baseball League (SCBL) has unveiled its 2017 schedule. Opening night is set for Wednesday, May 17 and will see all eight teams from the Senior ‘AA’ circuit playing; including the defending champs, the Portage Padres hosting the Plumas Pirates.

Other games include Neepawa at Minnedosa, Carberry in Austin and Dauphin travelling to Ebb and Flow.

The overall schedule will feature each club playing one another twice during the regular season (one home - one away). League playoffs will begin the week of July 12. Other notable fixtures this season will include the Senior ‘AA’ all-star game in Brandon, July 21-23 and the Senior ‘AA’ provincial championship, hosted by Neepawa from Aug. 11-13. Because the SCBL is hosting provincials, that will ensure two teams from the league will be involved.
