After some rain in Alameda on Tuesday, July 7, the Southeast A’s moved their home game to a ball diamond in Carlyle.
This game saw the team come up against Lumsden in the last match of the regular season.
In a hard fought battle with the A’s down they slowly clawed their way back. After digging deep and working hard they were able to reach a 10-8 victory over the visiting Lumsden team.
The Southeast A’s based in Alameda have been working hard all season within the Baseball Regina Bantam AAA league. This is the first year for the A’s and they have been able to hold their own and find success.
Making up the Southeast A’s are youth from Alameda (5), Bienfait (1), Oxbow (2), Wawota (1), Kenosee Lake (1), Kipling (1), Lampman (2), and Carnduff (1).
The team has wrapped their regular season, and have begun league playoffs while looking forward to provincials.
“We started the year off slow, but ended the [regular season] winning our last six of nine games, which put us in seventh out of nine teams in the league,” coach Trent Dorrance explained.
The team will also be competing this year in the provincial A competition, which is being held in Unity this weekend, July 17-19.
“Our team has made huge advancements throughout the year,” Dorrance stated. “We are one of the younger teams in the league and we competed very well. Our hitting and pitching has been the biggest improvements by far. Once the kids realized that they can compete and that they belong in this calibre of baseball they started playing to their abilities. I’m excited to carry this team on into next year and see the continued improvements.”
