On Aug. 13 the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations midget boys softball team became the first First Nations team to claim a national softball title when they defeated the Port Alberni Blazers 2-1 in the final game of the championships in Prince Albert. This was the third major win for the team this season, coming on the heels of last month's gold medal win at the North American Indigenous Games in Denver, Colorado and their clinching of the provincial title.
