A group of Salmon Arm minor baseball players got some off-season excitement under the big lights in Las Vegas this month, competing in the Veteran’s Day Challenge as a member of Okanagan baseball teams.
Riley Hay, Colson Johnston, Tate Spence, Lucas Mahoney and Donnie Robichaud were split between five different Okanagan teams in the event, and each team finished with a 2-2 record after four games.

All players were treated to a two-day skills camp prior to the tournament, which was held at the Big League Dreams Sports Park. These fields are fairly special in the baseball community, showcasing six fields built as scaled-down replicas of famous ballparks – Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, Crosley Field, Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium.
