ESTEVAN - The Estevan U13 AA Brewers travelled to Prince Albert on the weekend for the Baseball Saskatchewan Tier 1 provincial tournament.
The Brewers went 0-3 at the tournament. They dropped a 36-2 decision to the host Prince Albert Royals to start the tournament on Friday.
Then they had two losses Saturday, 16-15 to the North East Expos and 9-6 to the Muenster Red Sox. The defeats ended the Brewers' season.
In a message to the Mercury, the Brewers said they faced tough competition and they battled nerves in the first game.
The second game was a back-and-forth battle with the Expos. The third game was a really good contest that saw Estevan hold the lead throughout but the Red Sox bats came alive in the seventh and final inning.
One of their main goals this year was to play on Sunday at provincials and they came up a bit short, but they believe it was a successful year for the team. They had the best record in Baseball Regina's U13 AA division during the regular season at 19-1, and then went 4-0 in the playoffs to win the league title.
The Brewers said the most important thing was the kids had fun and are all better ball players now than at the start of the season.
