Portage Collegiate Institute Trojans' second baseman and pitcher Tanner Boyle will be heading to the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg in July.

He's cracked the 27 man roster to compete with Team Manitoba at this year's games.

"It feels awesome," says Boyle. "I've trained a lot in off seasons, and all the practices with my teams have really helped me. Great coaching on Team Manitoba too."

Boyle will be playing an infield position with the team and says a lot has gone into getting to this point.

"We train almost every weekend with Team Manitoba. I have to miss most of my AAA ball with Pembina Hills for it."

Boyle adds just being selected for the team was a huge boost in confidence and he's looking forward to the experience.
