Estevan is set for a busy weekend with three provincial baseball tournaments scheduled.
The U13 AA Brewers will compete at Cactus Park. The U18 AA Tier 5 and Tier 6 teams will play at Lynn Prime Park, with some games also held at Cactus Park.
Admission is $10 per day or $20 for the weekend, valid for all tournaments.
The U13 tournament starts at 1 p.m., with the Brewers facing the Gravelbourg Lightning at 6 p.m.
Elyse Mantei, coach of the U13 provincial team, said the team is optimistic.
“We’ve got a pretty good chance. We have a good group of boys who love the game of baseball,” Mantei said.
The U18 tournaments both start at 12:30 p.m. While no Estevan teams are in the Tier 5 tournament, the Estevan Blazers, competing in Tier 6, will play the Quad Town Steelers at 7:30 p.m.
Opening ceremonies are at 4:15 p.m. at Cactus Park.
Mantei noted that minor baseball has been selling 50/50 tickets throughout the season, with a draw coming up on Monday. A QR code for ticket purchases is available on the website and at the diamonds. The funds raised through the 50/50 draw will support Estevan Minor Baseball.
