U19 Wildcats finish 7th at nationals

The Eastman Wildcats AAA program continues to rack up the hardware.

The program’s U19 team finished seventh at the softball national championships in Calgary, racking up a 4-3 record in pool play and advancing to the playoffs.

More than a dozen teams from across Canada made the trip, with the Selects the only team from Mantioba to participate.

The Wildcats dropped a 15-4 decision in the knockout rounds to the Cloverdale Fury.

Kaylie Tétrault, who normally suits up for the U17 team, made the trip to Alberta as a pick-up player, and made the most of her time. She earned an all-star nod as the tournament’s top utility player.

The Edmonton River City Hornets defeated the Fraser Valley Fusion 9-2 to win the championship.
