The Garden Valley Zodiacs will represent Zone 4 at the MHSAA’s Provincial High School Baseball Championship that begins Thursday in Glenboro & Baldur.

The Zodiacs are in Pool 2 with the Steinbach Regional Secondary School and Swan Valley Tigers. The top two teams after the completion of the round robin advance to the quarterfinals.

GVC defeated the Morden Thunder 6-1 in the Zone 4 final last Tuesday in Altona to earn a spot in the provincials. The Zodiacs downed Northlands Parkway 7-4 and the Thunder beat Sanford 12-2 in the semifinals.

Morden will meet La Broquerie’s Ecole St. Joachim Monday in Ile des Chenes for a wildcard spot.

Garden Valley won the provincial championship in 2012. The Zodiacs outscored the host Stonewall Rams 12-11 in the final.
