Baseball Manitoba has announced its list of provincial championship hosts this summer and Swan River is on the list.
The Swan River Minor Baseball Association will host the 15U rural event from July 9 to 12. It isn't the first time that the provincials are heading to Swan River and Eric Arp is thrilled that they are.
"It's fantastic. We've always had a good experience in the past and we're delighted to be hosting again," said Arp. "We want to have top elite ball in our area and we want to showcase our area."
Arp says the facilities in Swan River are some of the best in the province and he figures all visiting teams and fans will be very impressed. And when it comes to fielding their own team, Arp says they will be competitive.
"Our team will be strong, I think we have some solid pitching," continued Arp. "We'll have to work on hitting and we'll be right there competing with the top teams."
