It was a banner weekend for Estevan's softball teams at provincials on the weekend.
Estevan Girls' Softball sent three teams to their respective provincial tournaments. The Estevan Rocket Sales Elite team won gold at the peewee B provincials in Regina, while the M&H Taxi and Industrial Services Elite squirt team won silver.
The MidCity and Brick Elite midget team did not advance to the playoffs at their tournament in Saskatoon.
The peewee team posted a perfect 4-0 record in the round-robin, defeating Regina, Weyburn, Hudson Bay and Carlyle.
The playoffs were rained out and rescheduled for Sunday. In the semifinals, the Elite edged Weyburn 15-14, and Hudson Bay beat Oxbow.
In the gold medal game, the Elite pulled out a 7-3 victory over Hudson Bay.
The team is made up of girls from Estevan, Weyburn, Carlyle and Lampman. They are coached by Mike Wilson.
The squirt team, competing in the 12-and-under division, earned silver at provincials after losing 9-7 to the Unity Panthers in the final.
The midgets, in their first game, trailed the Battleford Bandits 4-2 entering the seventh inning, but allowed four more runs in an 8-2 loss.
In their second game, they edged the Watrous Royals 8-7 under the lights.
On Saturday morning, the Elite faced the Saskatoon Selects but could not muster the defence or hitting to challenge them, failing to advance to the playoffs for only the second time in six years.
The weekend marks the second silver and third gold for Estevan softball teams in the last five seasons.
