The PCI Saints are the Manitoba High School Fastpitch Provincial Champions for the second year in-a-row.

They knocked off Steinbach 7-5 in the championship game to capture the provincial banner. Saints' Head Coach Cam Asham says it was an exciting end to a tight game.

"It was exciting. (Steinbach) got a couple runners on base, but Emily held them down. It was exciting to see that third strike."

Saints' Grade 12 Pitcher Emily Smith picked up her second provincial MVP award in as many years. She talks about winning the award in her final year with the Saints.

"It was a shock, and I was really honoured to get the award for the second time in a row. I've been working toward getting it again, it's always been a goal in my mind."

Saints' Kiera Shwaluk and Kassidy Cunningham were named to the provincial all-star team. Graduating players include Emily Smith, Kennedy Cunningham, Sam Turner and Morgan Miller.
