Prairie Queens make royal entrance into Manitoba Women's Slow Pitch League
A new powerhouse in Manitoba's women's slow pitch is making waves both on and off the diamond. The Prairie Queens, a competitive slow pitch team led by sisters Melora Barton and Ashley Ozunko, recently clinched the provincial title with a perfect 6-0 record, a remarkable achievement for a team in its very first season.
The idea for the team started as a casual conversation between the sisters, who had been subbing with other women's teams.
