The Richardson Pioneer Men’s
Fastball League would like to thank Richardson Pioneer for continuing for their
second year as title sponsor of the league. Wadena Director of Operations,
Carter Kolybaba said “Richardson Pioneer is happy to continue our partnership
with the league and are excited to see the continued interest in fastball in
the area.” The league had a successful first season offering a great
opportunity for area men to play ball on a regular basis. The endeavour also
gave a league for the Bantam Ages Wadena Wildcats to play in a league without
having to drive 2 or more hours to their closest opposition. The league
Playoffs has some delays due to weather issues but in the end the Wynyard Blues
came out on top with a victory over the Fishing Lake Mariners. Winning pitcher
Mike Jordan was awarded Playoff MVP by
his peers.
For 2017, the Richardson Pioneer
Men’s Fastball League is happy to announce it is set to start May 3rd in
Wynyard. The league remains at 6 teams this year with a slight change. The
Richardson Pioneer Men’s Fastball League was pleased to hear the Stoney Creek
Braves wanted to join the league for 2017 keeping the league at 6 teams, with
the Fishing Lake Mariners taking a year off. For their first year the Braves
will play their all their games in Wynyard, Wadena, Fishing Lake, and Foam
Lake. Stoney Creek Manager Sid Keshane said “My players are excited to play in
the Richardson Pioneer League. I played a few games with the Cubs last year but
I am excited to have our own team in the league. Now we can develop are younger
boys on our team”. The Teams in the league include the Wynyard Blues, Wadena
Wildcats (Bantams), Stoney Creek Braves, Foam Lake Merchants, Fishing Lake
