For 23 years, Lois Johnston was a dominant player in Manitoba Women's Softball. With her behind the plate and her bat in the line-up, teams invariably won provincial championships and the opportunity to compete at the Westerns. Playing Senior 'B' in Brandon and District Women's Softball League, she was the league's top hitter in 1974, 75, 79 and 1980. She was the League's MVP in 1970, 75 and 1985. In 1968, 69, 71, 72 and 77 she was selected to catch for teams representing Manitoba at out-of-province tournaments. Her 1977 team won the Western Canadian Championship. An exemplary catcher and hitter; a pleasure to watch.
