Sources says an announcement is coming soon that St. John’s will be awarded the 2016 national senior men’s softball championship.
The city last hosted the event in 2007 when the double fields at the Caribou Complex in Pleasantville were used.Â
However, that facility is now primarily used for slo pitch, and much of the parking that existed in that area is now longer available, meaning Lions Park, home of the St. John’s senior and intermediate leagues, could be the main venue for the nationals.
Details have yet to be revealed, but the Canadian championship is traditionally held in late August and/or early September.
Newfoundland has produced the last three national senior men’s champions, the latest being the Galway Hitmen.
