From Alberta to Prince Edward Island, it was a busy summer for Humboldt's Jayden Huls.

The Grade 10 student at Humboldt Collegiate Institute played baseball for the Bantam AAA Saskatoon Braves this season.

After winning the provincial championship, the Braves qualified for Under-15 Nationals, which were in Summerside, PEI.

The trip to the Atlantic coast was a rewarding one, according to Huls.

"Guys there were all good, people were really nice. It was neat playing against all the teams - Quebec, Ontario - all the teams from high-ranked ball places. Unfortunately we couldn't come up with more than one win."

Despite the lone win, Huls felt he played well at the tournament, noting it was good experience to play against high quality players.

"I think it bettered me, because I can gauge myself with where I am at and I think I am doing pretty good."

Over five games played at Nationals, Huls batted .350 with a team leading seven runs driven in.

It was the second time that Huls played for a Saskatoon team, spending his second year of Peewee ball in the Bridge City.

He says the year with the Braves put him a good situation to succeed and learn from other players.

"It was really good. I was with a great group of guys. Everyone enjoyed each other and I think we had an overall 37-7 record," he explained. "I think I've improved playing with new guys I haven't played with before. Learning new guys, how they play on the diamond and me adjusting to that."

On August 1, the Braves won the provincial title with a 7-4 win over the Regina White Sox, which was a milestone for most of the team.

"They were all hyped about winning because it was the first provincial championship throughout that whole team," he said.

While it was the first AAA provincial win for Huls, he has been used to winning from prior seasons in Humboldt.

Last year, he was a member of the Bantam AA Humboldt Dodgers, who claimed the provincial title. He also won with Humboldt teams in Peewee AA and Mosquito A.

The newly-turned 15-year-old will look to add to that collection as he moves forward to Midget ball next year.

Aside from smashing balls over the fence, or driving in winning runs, Huls says that the game of baseball has made summer months enjoyable, adding that it is the perfect game.

"Anybody can play no matter what you are - big, small, little, skinny, scrawny, it's everybody's sport."
