The La Broquerie A's are bound for Kamloops, British Columbia for the Western Canada Bantam "AA" Baseball Championships.

The A's won the Baseball Manitoba 15U "AA" Provincial Championship last month in La Broquerie thanks to a 14-6 victory over the Elkorn Expos.

"We had some tough competition back home and won the opportunity to represent our province," said La Broquerie assistant coach Mitch Tetrault. "I think we feel that we have a pretty strong team. We know they'll be other teams that will be here for the same reason as us and wanting to properly represent their province as well. We know there will be some tough competition, but we know if we play like we did in our provincials we should have a chance."

The A's started their championship run with a 7-6 win over Brandon, then shutout Ste. Rose 5-0 and Stonewall 10-0 and defeated MacDonald 23-1.

The host team punched their ticket to the final with a 9-8 victory over Stonewall and beat Elkhorn in the finals to become provincial champions.

"The boys were doing really well on the sticks. Defensively, we were sound and the boys just all came together at one time to play some of the best ball that we've played all  year," said Tetrault. "We need to keep doing that when we are out here [Kamloops]."

Tetrault explained the team is heading up to Kamloops a day early and is looking at getting in a practice before the start of the tournament on Friday. The goal of this is that the coaches are going to try and take the 'wow' factor out of the game for the boys so they can just focus on playing baseball like they normally do back in their hometown.

The A's will compete against the Provost Pilots, Lloydminster Twins, Tri City and Burnaby for a chance to be crowned Western Canada Baseball champions.
