The Bantam AAA 57's were one win away from a shot at provincial gold, and a trip to the 2018 Western Canada Championships over the weekend in Regina.

Swift started out going 3-and-1 in the round robin of Bantam AAA provincials.

They battered the Southeast A's 25-3, and followed that up with a 19-8 win over the Saskatoon A's on Day 1.

Day 2 saw a narrow 4-2 victory over the Regina Pacers and an 11-4 loss to the Saskatoon Blue Jays.

Then, in a provincial semi-final on Day 3, the Bantam AAA 57's lost 12-4 to the Regina White Sox.

The loss meant Swift narrowly missed out on one of two berths to the Western Canada Championships in the process.

The Sask Five Giants went on to win provincial gold with a 5-2 victory over the White Sox.
