The Drumheller mixed slo-pitch teams will be wrapping up their 2015 season in a couple of weeks with a round robin style tournament.
The local league, made up of 22 teams has six teams in the competitive portion and 16 in the non-competitive.
Meredy Mielke, league organizer, said the teams play each other throughout the year and, “for the most part every team plays once a week.”
The teams play at the Newcastle ball diamonds as well as sometimes at the Rosedale diamond and play Monday to Friday.
“Our annual year end tournament will be August 8 and 9 at the Newcastle diamond,” she told inSide Drumheller.
“There will be round robin style games and a home run derby Saturday,” she explained.
Bernie and the Boys will return this year to provide the league with food and beverages throughout the tournament, Mielke said.
“Fingers crossed for some good weather. Everyone is welcome to come out and watch some ball or just to grab a bite to eat,” she said.
Mielke said the league would like to thank Kevin Blanchett and his maintenance team, “for working hard and keeping the diamonds in tip top shape for us, and to Judy Quintin-Arvidson for booking the diamonds.”
With the year coming to an end for the teams, Mielke said the league is not taking players right now but the 2016 season will be open to new teams or players.
