Wildcats earn gold medal at U15 AAA provincial championships

The U15 AAA Eastman Wildcats capped off a strong provincial season in style, going 7-0 at the Manitoba championships, hosted in Headingly.

That 7-0 record was reflected in the final score of the gold medal game, where they made short work of the Interlake Phillies. The Phillies and Wildcats both lost a combined two regular season games this year but Interlake lost both games the two teams played at provincials 7-0.

Eastman had a combined run difference of plus-33, allowing just a single run in their final five games.

Hannah Skrabek was named played of the player of the tournament and got the nod to start in the championship. She pitched a complete game, allowing just four hits while striking out eight across six innings.

Both teams will represent Manitoba at the upcoming national championships in Fredericton, N.B., which are set to start July 28.
