Team Shotgun wins Prairieland Slo-Pitch tournament for Lincoln’s family
The Prairieland 2nd Annual Slo-Pitch Tournament held June 3-5 was nothing short of a memorable feel good story! We had a tougher time finding teams that weekend due to all the postponed Covid events everywhere, but still had 5 teams. Thanks to Team Shotgun, Caucasians, Alcoballics, Brew Crew and Host Boomtown Bombers for entering!
Team Shotgun, based out of Alsask, just before the tournament experienced a tragic accident that resulted in a passing of a 2 year old named Lincoln. They decided to play in tournament and hoped to win it all for him. They pulled it off with a perfect 4-0 record and went home with $750 as the top team in the tournament! All 4 of the remaining teams payouts were donated back to Team Shotgun as well! Congratulations to Team Alcoballics for getting drawn for the Team Grand Prize Draw of $1500. They then decided to quickly donate $500 back to PAA and another $500 to Team Shotgun! Congratulations to Katina Musat from Team Shotgun on winning the 50/50 worth $432.50! Congratulations to Emily Longmire from Team Shotgun on winning the Home Run Derby worth $150, the first woman to do so in our history! Just a magical special weekend for Team Shotgun which couldn’t been more perfect! Everyone that was able to make the picture Sunday came in for a big group family photo with the “L” for Lincoln on the right hand! The love and support was above and beyond!
