The Grande Prairie Pirates Fastball club are Provincial Champions.

The Pirates were in Calgary this weekend to play their best-of-five Provincial final with the Irma Tigers.

After splitting the first two games on Saturday, the Pirates would come out Sunday and earn a pair of wins to claim the Provincial crown.

This included an extra innings victory in Game 4 to secure the banner.

Another Provincial banner will also be coming home to the Swan City.

The Grande Prairie Masters Pirates also won their Provincial title over the weekend.
