Submitted by Kevin Mathers
Eston local baseball players, #15 Colby Mathers, #12 Landyn Nash, & #14 Keegan Nash, were members of the Dinsmore Dynamos U18 Baseball Team that recently won the U18 Tier 4 Provincial Championship held in Unity on the weekend of Jul 21-23.
The Dynamos had a 2-1 record in Round Robin play (Beating the Saskatoon Blue Jay Bombers and the Foam Lake Falcons, and losing to the host Unity Cardinals), which was good enough for 2nd place in their pool and a spot in the semi final game.
In the semi final game Sunday morning, the Dynamos prevailed in a thrilling extra inning game, beating the host Unity Cardinals 9-6 in 11 innings to punch their ticket to the provincial final game.
In the final game they came up again the 4-0 Wynyard Blues. In a hard fought game the Dynamos came out on top winning the game 12-6 and thus being crowned the U18 Tier 4 Provincial Champions!
