A local athlete is heading out of Province to compete in the Girls Midget National Fastball Championships.

Portage's Lana Dubois is a catcher for the Winnipeg Angels 19 and under club, who recently won the Provincial Tournament last weekend in Winnipeg. En route to victory the Angels had to win 6 games which included a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Lightning in the finals. It marked the Angels third win over the Lightning in the event, having played them in the round robin and playoffs.

Dubois says the Angels success at Provincials was the result of the entire roster showing up ready to play combined with consistent hitting throughout the team. She adds as a whole everything seemed to fall in place for the Angels, which allowed them to dominate the competition.

Nationals will take place August 6-13 in Guelph, Ontario.
