It's one of, if not the, longest running baseball tournament in Manitoba. The Clearwater Canada Baseball Tournament. Nearly four dozen teams from Mosquito to Senior, both male and female, are expected to take the field Friday. The event is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year, and Drawmaster Jackie Johnson joined Thursday on the Morning Show to reflect on the milestone.

Considering all the rain the region has had, we asked Jackie how the diamonds were looking ahead of the tournament.

We wrapped up our conversation with Jackie talking about what her favourite thing is about the Clearwater Canada Day Baseball Tournament.

And keep in mind there is canteen on site, and playground equipment for the really young ones not playing.
