The baseballs were flying throughout the Eastman region, as both Niverville and La Broquerie played host to provincial championships last weekend.

In La Broquerie, both the hometown A’s and Mitchell Expos were able to make it to championship Sunday in the 15U AA tournament, with La Broquerie coming out on top 8-4 in the all-Eastman quarterfinal, but Winkler would fell the A’s 10-0 in the semi-final.

Charleswood would walk away as the tournament winners, defeating Winkler in a high-scoring 14-9 gold-medal game.

At the 15U A provincials in Niverville, Seine River was the best performing team from the region, making it to a semi-final against Wawanesa/Souris, but they would fall 6-1 to the eventual tournament winners.

At other provincial action across the province, Steinbach was able to make a run at the 13U AA provincials in Winkler, falling to the eventual champion and hosts in the semi-finals.
