Unless the situation changes quickly, Estevan will not have an entry in the Saskota Baseball League this year.

The city's senior team, the Tower Wolves, is struggling to find enough players and someone dedicated enough to run the team.

Devin Aspinall had organized things previously, until last season when things got too busy for him.

"We were fortunate to have Justin Fieber step up and run things. It was probably our least successful season in a long time, but at least we had a team," said Aspinall.

"We've got some guys that are willing to help, but everyone is afraid of taking that jump and being on your cellphone all day, making sure guys are going to play.

"We're going to need someone who's passionate about baseball to come in. It's hard to run a baseball team, probably even harder to run a team at the senior level because you're dealing with adults who are busy and you gotta keep everyone committed," Aspinall added.

The other issue for the Wolves is players. Aspinall said only four or five are committed to play at the moment.

Some players have moved away, while others are going to school and won't be back until near the end of the season.

With the deadline to commit to the league being May 1, the Wolves have only two weeks to find enough players and someone to run the club.

Aspinall said taking a year off will make it harder to re-assemble a squad in the future.

"It won't be easy. It's one of those things, once it's gone, it's easy to keep it gone."

Anyone interested in playing or managing the team is asked to contact Aspinall at 306-421-1921.
