Panthers Field First Baseball Team

The Citizen

Starting this year, Niverville’s high school baseball team has joined the Zone 13 High School Baseball League. This is the first time the school has fielded a team, and the season is already underway. 

The league now includes eight teams, split into a north and south division. The south division includes Grunthal, Niverville, La Broquerie, and Steinbach, while the north division includes Île-des-Chênes, Lorette, Ste. Anne, and Beausejour.

Niverville will play its games in Mitchell, and Île-des-Chênes will play in Blumenort and Île-des-Chênes. In the short season, each team play three regular season games against teams in its own division. The top two teams of each division then advance to a playoff draw.

The winners of each zone will meet in the provincial championship, to be played June 1–3 in Altona.
