Neepawa’s Under 10 Girls baseball team has brought home silver from the provincial championship. 

The team qualified for the playoff round in the C-Division of orthodox fast-pitch, with a perfect 4-0 record in the round robin portion of the event, which was held at John Bloomberg Field in Winnipeg. They would advance to the final after a impressive 12-1 victory over Southdale, but fell to Hamoita in the championship 7-1.

Coach Marty Moyer said everyone involved is very happy with the team’s success.

“For myself, assistant coaches Heather Denbow and Chris Turner, as well as the parents, we’re all extremely proud of the girls and what they accomplished,” said Moyer. “They played some of their best ball of the year out there. At the same time though, it wasn’t about the competition. It was about having fun out there and playing because they just love playing the game. Some of the girls didn’t even know we were in place for a medal until it was all said and done. Everybody is just so proud of them.”
