The Moose Jaw Canucks Red are in the win column.
And in the most dramatic of fashions at that.
The Canucks scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh to take a 14-13 victory over the Weyburn Beavers in Baseball Regina U13 AAA action on Friday night at Lyle Helland Ball Diamond.
Dax Chesney came through with the game-winning hit, hitting a double to centrefield that scored David Choe with the deciding run.
That wasn’t the only big hit in the final inning, either, as trailing 13-12, Nigel Legare laced a two-run home run to left field to also bring home Isaiah Ross with the tying run.
It was a back-and-forth contest throughout, as the Canucks took a 5-2 lead out of the second inning, trailed 7-6 through four, led 9-7 through five and trailed 12-10 heading into the final inning.
Legare had an outstanding night on a whole at the plate, going 4-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and five runs batted in.
Dalton Stephens was 2-for-3 with a run and two RBI, while Taeve Morhart crossed the plate twice. Daymond Baxter had a pair of hits and knocked in two, Choe also had a couple of RBI.
Chesney got the start on the mound and went four innings, allowing seven runs on four hits and four walks while striking out seven. Baxter allowed five runs, two earned, on four hits over the next two innings and Legare closed things out, surrendering a run in the final frame and striking out the side.
Moose Jaw is now 1-5-1 and hold down fifth place in the eight-team league.
The Canucks Red are back in action on Sunday when they take on the Canucks Black in an all-Moose Jaw match-up. Game time is 6 p.m. at Andrie Diamond.
