Drumheller softball player on provincial champion team

IMG 2315

A Drumheller area softball player is now a provincial champion, and is heading to Western Canadians in August.
Grace Brost spent her softball season playing for the Elnora Eagles U19 softball team, as a pitcher. Her team recently competed in the U19 B provincial championships from July 14-17 in Irma.
After an exciting come-from-behind victory over the host team in the first game, where behind Brost’s pitching, overcame an 8-1 deficit, they cruised to the championship. They defeated the Calgary South Bow River Surge to win the tournament.
It has been a long season for the U19 Eagles. They played in a ladies League, facing everything from U17 teams, to adult teams.
Brost has been playing softball since she was about 12, starting in Drumheller. She then went on to play with the Strathmore Thunder at U14, and this season joined the Eagles.
With this victory, the Elnora Eagles are heading to the Western Canadian Championships in Regina from August 4-7 to take on the top team from BC to Manitoba.
