      Batter up!
           Carlyle Minor Ball Days were held on Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7, where 34 games were held at Lions Park in the two-day action.
           Both softball and baseball teams took part in the weekend varying in ages.
           Satuday saw games between Wawota and Carlyle in the Learn to Play age group.
           In the 10U category Arcola, Carlyle, Carnduff, and Weyburn competed. The 10U girls competing included two Carlyle teams, Oxbow, and two Carnduff teams.
           The 14U girls competing included the two Carlyle teams and a team from Esterhazy.
           The Sunday saw even more action as the 8U girls played with Carlyle, Carnduff, and Weyburn competing. The 12U girls also played matches between Carlyle, Carnduff, and Weyburn.
           The 16/19U girls from Carlyle hosted a team from Stoughton and one from Carnduff.
           Competing in the boys divisions included the 8U teams from Carlyle (2), Wawota, and Arcola. The 12U boys (two teams) had games with Arcola and Carnduff. Also included in games during the weekend were two Carlyle teams, Oxbow, and Kipling.
           This meant a total of 35 teams took part in the weekend.
           It was a weekend of ball as teams came to compete. Some games were part of their league schedules, while others were simple exhibition games.
           With lots of sun, a little bit of clouds, and just a bit of wind, the weekend was a hit.
           Many people came through the gates to participate in the day and is Carlyle Minor Ball's main fundraiser.
           The day allows Carlyle teams a little extra time in the diamonds, while also introducing them to other teams from outside of their league.
           Without the many volunteers associated with the Minor Ball Association and Minor Ball Days it would not be possible.
