After winning their league championships last month, the Neepawa PeeWee girls softball team added the Peewee B Girls Provincial Fastball Championship to their list of this season's accomplishments. The team, which includes four players from Carberry, travelled to Winnipeg for the provincial tournament last Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The girls played four round-robin games, winning against Woodlands, McDonald and Altona. They lost to Boissevain by one run. They then played three back-to-back games on Sunday, winning the quarter final against Killarney (6-0), the semi-final against Manitou (4-3) and the final against Boissevain (6-4). Pitcher Kailee Stewart pitched a no-hitter in the quarter final.
Coach Don Schmall said, “The girls played really well... There was good hitting by all players.”
