The growing slo-pitch league in Nipawin has some basic goals but is best summed up as get out and have fun, said Squires.

“Get out, get active, have a few wobbly pops and just enjoy meeting new people and have fun,” he said following the tournament.

The play is based on fun and games,

From only eight teams several years ago, the Nipawin Slo-Pitch now has 14 teams and eight in its final weekend tournament.
