Berries back in business in rocking photo roundup
Written by Gordie Howe Sports Complex staff
Cadence Colborn is getting noticed with her sweet and power stroke on the softball diamond.
During Softball Canada’s Under-19 Women’s Canadian Fast Pitch Championship Tournament that ran July 31 to August 4, 2024 at the diamonds on the Gordie Howe Sports Complex grounds, Colborn emerged as one of the stars playing for the provincial champion Saskatoon Prairie Dog Selects. She was named a tournament all-star after posting a .474 batting average and nailing three home runs.
A country gal who enjoys helping her family with work out on the farm, Colborn naturally took her talents to Canyon, Texas, to play for the West Texas University A&M Lady Buffs Softball Team in the NCAA Division II ranks. With the Lady Buffs, Colborn had a spectacular freshman campaign in 2024-25.
In 57 total games, Colborn, who plays first base, went 48-for-111 at the plate for a .432 average, nine home runs and 51 RBI. She collected a trio of all-star awards helping the Lady Buffs put up a 56-8 overall record.
With the completion of her college season, Colborn is back in Saskatoon currently playing for the CT&V Selects U19A team.
A story on Colborn is our main feature for the June upload of our “Howe Happenings” blog. In the piece, Colborn talked about her start in softball and how her family is always around the sport. She also went into how life in Canyon, Texas, ended up being perfect for her and what her hopes are in the near future in softball.
To go with the story on Colborn, June’s “Howe Happenings” upload includes a photo roundup that features the return of the Saskatoon Berries. Along with pictures of the Berries, the photo roundup also featured action from baseball, football, softball and track and field.
