A strong showing fell just short of a spot in the finals for the Bantam 'AAA' 57's at Provincials in Saskatoon.

After a 17-7 loss to the Regina White Sox on Friday, the 57's bounced back with some hot bats of their own.

Lop-sided wins of 9-2 against the Saskatoon Braves, and 12-2 against the Regina Pacers clinched a spot in the Provincial semis for Swift.

However, in their semi-final matchup against the Saskatoon A's, the 57's couldn't duplicate their scoring success from round robin play.

Swift Current fell 4-1 to the A's, who went on to the final, eventually losing to the Saskatoon Blue Jays 10-4.
