Leigh Ann Kyte

Leigh Ann Kyte, 54, of Fitzroy Harbour died this week.

The host team will be West Carleton Electric U20, a team with young players from across the area, including two players from U18 Men's Team Canada, Colton Lecuyer and Bryce Rebertz.

The Carp committee has hosted two previous national level events - the U23 Men's in 2022 and the U20 Men's in 2024.

The World Baseball Softball Confederation Pan Am Men's Softball event held this past week in Columbia saw Mexico take gold, defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra innings in the final game. Carlos Parra, Mexico's 19 year old pitcher, threw all nine innings allowing only one hit.

The bronze medal game saw Venezuela edge Canada 1-0. Luis Colombo, who threw for Los Caballos at the Carp Shootout in 2024 (and lost 1-0 to the Ottawa Valley Grainers at that event) was the winning pitcher. Connor Brooks of Napanee played for Team Canada

There were 13 teams at the event.
