There will be baseball action in the valley this weekend as the U11 Miners AA team is hosting the Tier 6 Provincial finals August 20-22.
Manager of the Miners Amy Hewitt says teams from Edmonton and Barrhead will join the Miners in the tournament.
The Miners, despite restrictions due to COVID-19, have been able to get some meaningful time on the field, and have already hosted two weekends of ball in the valley, and have extended their season into August.
“We have had a great year,” said Hewitt. “We hosted here last weekend and won two games and lost one.”
“The kids are loving it, the parents are too.”
The tournament begins Friday, August 20 at 3 p.m. at Newcastle Diamond 1. The Miners will take the field at 6 p.m. for their first game of the weekend. They are also slated to play on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. The final is slated for 10 a.m. on Sunday, depending on how round play shakes out.
