NANAIMO — The Nanaimo Buccaneers midget AAA baseball team is coming home with a 6th place finish from the 2016 Baseball Canada 18U National Championships in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

The Bucs closed out the four-day tournament with a 9-7 loss to team Ontario on Sunday morning.

Nanaimo was playing in the national tournament as team B.C., after winning provincials earlier in the summer.

Although heavily represented by Nanaimo talent, the roster was also bolstered with players from Courtenay, Duncan, Surrey and Langley, among other places.

Finishing with a record of 2-4 in Quebec, the B.C. reps scored wins over Ontario and Alberta.
