The Carnduff Three hit the diamond Thursday morning in Woodstock, Ontario, as they and the 13U Team Sask do battle for the National Championship.

Carter Beck, Aiden Trimble and Callum Hollinger all play for the peewee Carnduff Astros, since selected to represent the province.

Hollinger said he's looking forward to, "Just playing as a team and trying to win the tournament as much as possible," adding that their preparation has included daily ball practice.

"I'm really pumped up to go to Ontario and play for my province."

"There's going to be teams from all over the country...and it's real exciting, because where I play you see some good teams, but I've never played against teams that are the best players of each province. It's pretty exciting, I want to see some good ball," added Trimble.

Saskatchewan's first action is 11:00 AM Thursday morning, when they take on the Quebec Blue.
