LANTZ: The East Hants U-10 Blue Mastodons brought home a silver medal from the championship final of the Under-10 provincial softball championship.

The Blue team–and East Hants Black Mastodons–were among the squads that participated in the provincials, played at the Peter Smith Memorial Field in Lantz on Aug. 27-29.

The Laker News attended a morning game between East Hants Black and Brookfield Yellow and snapped the following photos. It was a busy weekend, so we couldn’t get to any other game but the one pictured.

It was great ball from what we saw.

Besides the U-10 provincials, there was some Shooters Fast Pitch league action that saw the N.S. Canada Games team play a triple-header on the bigger field adjacent to where the U10s were happening.

The Canada Games team played the Prodigy Red Sox; the Halifax Bandits; then a rematch with the Prodigy Red Sox.

It was an entertaining day of fast pitch action in Lantz.
