A men's slow pitch tournament held at Capostinsky Park last weekend was one of the most entertaining tournaments he's participated in, according to Jason Mann, one of the organizers.
“We had a blast,” he said.
Four teams took part. Participants had to be male and over the age of 35, although teams were allowed two younger players each.
Red Necks from Kamloops came first, followed in second place by Dirty Jerseys, also from Kamloops.
Vernon Lions placed third, while Clearwater's Still Pounding came fourth.
Tourney planned for Labor Day weekend
Twelve teams are expected to take part in a slow pitch tournament to be held in Clearwater during the Labor Day weekend, Mann reported.
Eight of the teams will be local.
Activities will include a dunk tank, a radar gun to measure the speed of throws, and a beer garden.
Proceeds from the tournament] will go to community projects.
“It will be the first time we'll have had a Labor Day tournament in a long time,” Mann said. “Depending on how it goes, we'd like to make it an annual event.”
