Kindersley hosts 35 Annual Western Canadian Oldtimers Baseball tournament
By Annie Duncan
The Kindersley Klippers placed fourth in the 35 Annual Western Canadian Oldtimers Baseball Championship held on the July 15 weekend, coming up short in their final game against the Saskatoon Sportsmen in a 9-6 loss.
Overall, it was a successful weekend of baseball at the Berard and Flanagan fields here in Kindersley, as eight teams from across Western Canada went head-to-head for the bragging rights to the title of Western Canadian Oldtimers Champion. It’s been a long time coming for the teams, as the tournament had been on hold for the past two years due to the pandemic.
The sun was hot all weekend, but the bats were hotter! The crack of the bat, balls hitting gloves, and fans cheering could be heard throughout the stadium. Although the crowd was less than plentiful, they made up for size with volume as they cheered on their teams.
The Saskatoon Joes defeated the Regina Drifters in a 3-1 victory to claim the Oldtimers Championship title to finish off the incredible weekend.
