The PCI Saints 2016 Fastpitch Tournament starts today.

15 teams are in Portage for two days of ball, with teams coming from Steinbach, Virden and Dauphin to name a few. Saints' Head Coach Cam Asham feels it's a great chance to see some different competition.

"We have 15 teams coming in, so there's definitely a chance for us and everyone else that's coming in to get some games against teams that are from out of their zone."

Asham says they're shooting to win the whole thing, but this is a good way for the girls to keep their skills sharpened.

"The time on the field, and getting more bats, and getting more innings under our belt defensively and the whole thing. So we're looking forward to getting some more game action in this weekend."

The Saints are up against Prairie Mountain at 9:30 this morning, and Neelin at 11.
