Slow Pitch, fast friends

Jasper’s Slow Pitch League crowned its champions on August 20 after a fantastic final series of games to close out the baseball season.

The A-Finals championship game saw the Fit-Mitts edge out the Gangsters in a contest that came down to the last pitch.

The B-Finals winners were the Bonestars and the Bongs took home the C cup.

Jasper Slow Pitch League organizer John Pelosi said the sounds of families and kids rooting for their favourite squads made the final weekend all the more successful.

“Community support was prevalent with lots of kids out cheering,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi said the team managers agree: Jasper’s baseball facilities have been in great shape all year.

The Bongs have the distinction of being the oldest athletic association in Alberta. In that time, they have acquired more C-cups than Fruit of the Loom. // Supplied

“Big thanks to the town’s grounds department for taking such good care of the ball diamonds all season long,” Pelosi said.
