Fourth place for Fritzke and Team Sask Baseball at 21U Nationals

A pair of losses to a pair of Ontario teams meant a fourth-place finish for Swift Current’s Tanner Fritzke and Team Sask Baseball.

Competing in a semi final yesterday afternoon at Baseball Canada’s 21U Men’s Championship, Saskatchewan fell to Ontario’s top team 5-2.

Dropping to the bronze medal game, Saskatchewan squared off with Ontario’s second-seeded team and lost 3-2 in extra innings.
