In 1945, the Truro Printing Slugs women’s softball team became the first Truro team to ever win a Maritime championship. They duplicated the feat again in 1946, and once again in 1950. The Slugs dominated their playoff series, winning the title in 1945, with a 24-3 score over Summerside, and taking the 1946 series from Charlottetown 17-4 and 22-0.
