Smitty’s represented Manitoba at the Softball Canada senior women’s fast pitch championship from 1993 to 1997 and brought home medals each season. The streak started with bronze in 1993, the team finished second in the country the following season, and won gold in 1995. The Canadian senior women’s title that Smitty’s won in 1995 was the first at that level for our province since CUAC Blues won the first Canadian championship 30 years earlier. The team then retained its Canadian crown in 1996 and again in 1997 and its success established Manitoba as our country’s leader in women’s fast pitch softball.
