Inuvik Slo-Pitch wraps up season with 3-day tournament

Slo-Pitch season in Inuvik wrapped up with a three-day tournament Aug. 20-22. After 126 games at Peggy Curtis Field this summer, seven teams had played each other three times for a total of 18 games each. It was now time to see which one deserved the year’s crown. Teams were ensured a minimum three games and hit the diamond in spite of sporadic rain throughout the weekend. When the dust settled, Inuvik Construction were the last team standing.
