The U15 Central Charge girls’ softball team had a remarkable season, culminating in a Softball Manitoba U15 AA provincial title.
Many memories were made over the short season, which included several exhibition games, the AA Showcase Tournament in Hamiota in mid-June and the provincials in Brandon at the end of July.
Special mentions go to Shayna Driedger, who won the prestigious Player of the Tournament award after hitting an over the fence walk off home run, and Brielle Thiessen who pitched a one-hit shutout as Central beat the Westman Fury 13-0 in the provincial gold medal game.
“We’re extremely proud of this exceptional group of athletes who learned from their mistakes, played with heart and ultimately, won gold at the AA provincials,” said team manager Laurhys Bergen.
The team had many sponsors which contributed to their success on the field this summer: NorthValley Precision Planting, Bayer CropScience, Roland Air, Richardson, Renew Wellness Center, Mid Man Mechanical Services, B.B. Wiebe & Sons Ltd, and Tri-Man Farms Co.
