Canadians, Giants take mercy-rule wins in Rambler Park action

Canadians down Piapot 11-1, Giants roll to 10-0 win over Highway 22
Neither Moose Jaw team apparently wanted much to do with a full night of ball in Rambler Park Fastball League action on Tuesday night at Lyle Helland Ball Diamond.

The Canadians rolled to an 11-2 victory over the Piapot Aces in the opening contest before the Giants followed with a 10-0 win over the Highway 22 Cowboys in the nightcap.

The Canadians are back in action for the first game of the playoffs on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at Kaplan Field in Regina, while the Giants close out their regular season on Monday against the last-place Regina Gold.

Canadians 11, Piapot 2

Brad Reaney hit a home run as the second batter of the game for the Canadians, and they’d never look back on their way to the five-inning mercy-rule win.

Reaney would finish the game with a pair of runs scored, while Dane Roy was 2-for-3 with a double and three runs batted in. Riley Almasi was 2-for-2 with a pair of runs, Blake Dixon helped out his own cause by also crossing the plate twice.

Matthew Strongeagle had a solo home run for Piapot in the fourth inning.

Dixon finished the game with seven strike-outs on the night and allowed only two hits beyond Strongeagle’s round-tripper.

Giants 10, Highway 22 0

Larry Childs scattered six hits through four innings of shut-out ball and Tyler Kifferling hit a two-run home run in the final frame as the Giants needed only four innings to get past the Cowboys.

Braden Konschuk was 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored for Moose Jaw, Pat Swallow reached base three times and crossed the plate twice. Terry Danberg was 2-for-3, scoring a run and knocking in two.
