The West Kootenay team, which includes players from Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Rossland and Kelowna, won the mixed Slopitch silver medal at the 2022 Canadian Senior Games in Kamloops.
West Kootenay backed down on a heartbreaking decision to host Kamloops 15-12 in Friday’s Mixed Slow Pitch Championship.
The setback was nothing like West Kootenay’s week of success at the Canadian Senior Games, where they only lost two games in the Mixed Slopitch Championship.
West Kootenay ended the round robin 3-1 by defeating Saskatchewan 14-2 in the first round of the playoffs to reach the final, and beating Ontario 23-11 in the semi-finals.
