Jul 28, 2016 | 2:21 PM

NANAIMO — The Nanaimo Coalminers are hosting the the PWB Senior Provincial Baseball Championship this weekend.

There are eight teams including the Coalminers and the VI Baseball Institute.

Coalminers General Manager Dale Ballance says the games will run Friday through Monday.

“We will have 12 games at Serauxmen and all the games will be 9am, 12pm, 3pm, and 6pm.  We have five games actually at Mariner Field which is kitty corner to Serauxmen Stadium,” said Ballance.

Ballance is hoping his team can end a long championship drought.

“2005 has been the last time we won the Provincial title.  We played in the finals in 2008 and 2010.”

Tickets will be available at the gate, and results will be updated after every game on twitter @coaltownminers.

The tournament starts at 3pm on Friday with Nanaimo’s first game at 6pm against Coquitlam at Serauxmen Stadium.
