Saskatoon’s reputation for having world-class facilities and top-notch organization and hosting pedigree in fastpitch-softball will be put to the test again in a couple of weeks!
A trio of Canadian fastpitch-softball championships will take hold of Bob Van Impe Stadium, Joe Gallagher Field and the Glenn Reeve diamonds between July 27 and August 4. Softball Canada’s Under-14 Boy’s nationals will be held July 27-31. Then, the Under-16 Boy’s and Under 23 Men’s will take over those diamonds between July 30-August 4. The Under-16 Boys’ event actually doesn’t begin until July 31. In all tournaments, teams from every province…except P-E-I…will take part. In all instances, a host team from Saskatoon will be in the field. Following is the news release from the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association…
