Baseball season in La Ronge begins
Another season of La Ronge and Area Minor Baseball has started with about 190 participants registered.
That’s according to club president Corey Borthwick, who said that’s about average but more than the 160 athletes who signed up in 2021. The baseball club has been in La Ronge since 2007 and Borthwick noted the most to ever register in a season was 260.
Baseball began on May 9 with age divisions in rookie, junior rally cap, senior rally cap, 11U, 13U, and 15U and 18U combined into a single division. Teams practice at Pre-Cam Community School and Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre twice per week.
“We initially wanted to start on May 5. We did push it back a few days,” Borthwick said, adding the diamonds were still wet due to snow. “It wasn’t looking like we were going to start on May 9, but we were able to.”
