SHAWVILLE May 1, 2018
Two games kicked off the Shawville Men’s Fastpitch season last week, with new and experienced players alike hitting the field to shake off the winter rust.
With five teams in the league, nearly all of them had their chance at bat on the evening of May 1, when the two games took place.
First up was a 7 p.m. game, where the Royals, sponsored by Young’s Appliance Repairs Inc., took on the Athletics, sponsored by Bristolview Enterprises. Another game followed at nine, when the Gannon/Blackburn Electric Inc. Bucks took on the Trudeau Collision Brewers.

The Royals beat out the Athletics with a score of 11 – 2, while the Brewers won their game 18 – 2.
The only team to not play that evening was the Twins, sponsored by Tubman Auto Body. Last week’s Thursday games were postponed due to unfavourable weather, so their season was set to start on May 8 instead.
Teams will be playing all through the summer, with their schedule set to continue right through till early August. Last year’s champions, the Twins, also took home the 2016 title spot.
