The East Central 18U AAA Red Sox are your 2023 provincial champions. The team wrapped up a stellar season in the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League taking the final game 6-3 over the Regina Wolfpack.
The provincial tournament kicked off for the Red Sox on Friday with a solid 11-1 win over the Regina Athletics. The Red Sox dispatched the Sask Five Giants 122-2 and the South East Twins 9-4 on the way to the final. Their sole loss for the weekend came at the hands of the Saskatoon Cubs, but the Sox stayed the course to pick up the championship win in Sunday's final.
That game was tied 3-all in the bottom of the fifth when Cade Armstrong drove in a pair of runs on a single, along with a third run on a sacrifice fly by Marek Yeager.
Congratulations to the East Central Red Sox, this year's provincial gold medalists.
