AAA Programs see great results at provincials

Carillion Minor Baseball saw plenty of success this July, with all three programs (13U, 15U,18U) finding themselves heading towards Westerns and Nationals.

18U AAA team went undefeated at Provincials, disposing the Winnipeg South Wolves 4-2 in the final to represent Manitoba to the 18U AAA Nationals in Fort McMurray, Alberta August 18-22.

15U AAA team also claimed the provincial title with a 3-1 extra innings win vs South Central.  Having lost the final game of the round robin 10-7 vs South Central earlier in the day, a pitching duel lead to a very tight final which saw both teams score 1 run in the first seven innings and Carillion were able to prevail in extra innings.  The 15U AAA team will represent Manitoba at the Western Canada Championship in Edmonton, Alberta August 18-22.

The 13U AAA team had a great run during their provincials, making it to the finals but claiming silver by losing 9-3 to Winnipeg South.  The second place finish earned the 13U AAA team a spot at the Western Canada Championship in Swift Current, Saskatchewan August 18-22
