Moose Jaw Ice reach pair of finals in annual 'A' tournament

Local squads come up just short in gold medal games in Pee Wee, Bantam divisions

The Moose Jaw Ice proved to be competitive and then some across all three age divisions during the annual Moose Jaw and District Girls Fastball 'A' Tournament  at Optimist Park this past weekend.

The Squirt (under 12) Ice posted a 1-3 record in the round robin, opening with a hard-fought 13-10 loss to the Lumsden Cubs before falling 15-0 to the Manitoba Angels and 15-3 to the Regina Saints before picking up their first win in a rare night game for the division on Saturday, defeating the Kincaid CoolCats 8-6. Moose Jaw closed out their portion of the tournament with a 12-5 loss to the Angels in the semifinal.

In the Pee Wee (under 14) division, the Ice found themselves in contention from the get-go, opening with a 7-4 win over the Estevan Elite before falling 10-0 to the Manitoba Thunder and rebounding with an 8-4 win over the Manitoba Angels to close out their draw Saturday. The Ice then put together a late-game rally to take a 4-3 win over the Elite in the semifinal before running into a tough Thunder team and falling 8-1 in the championship game.

The Bantam (under-16) Ice also reached the championship final after splitting their two round robin games with a 6-0 loss to the Regina Royals and 4-3 win over the Southeast Hawks. The Ice racked up the runs in their semifinal on a chilly Sunday morning, winning 15-8 over the Hawks, before falling 9-2 to the Royals in the title game that afternoon.
