Moose Jaw Giants, Canadians pick up victories in Rambler Park action

Giants roll to 10-3 win over Earl Grey, Canadians battle to 7-6 victory over Cowboys
Both Moose Jaw teams came away victorious in Rambler Park Fastball League men’s fastball action on Tuesday night, as the Giants downed Earl Grey 10-3 and Canadians picked up a 7-6 win over the Cowboys at Lyle Helland Ball Diamond.

The Giants are now 4-2-1 on the season while the Canadians improved to 4-2.

Next action for the Giants is Thursday against Standing Buffalo, while the Canadians play Friday against the Top Shelf Sports Pride. Both games are in Regina.

Giants 10, Earl Grey 3

Giants pitcher Al Muhle continued his impressive season, while his offence gave him all the support he’d need and then some.

None of the three runs Muhle allowed were earned, as each of the Giants’ errors on the night led to an Earl Grey score. He’d scatter four hits and strike out six while walking none.

The Giants’ top of the order, meanwhile, went to town at the plate.

Lead-off hitter Jason Schneider went 2-for-3 and scored three runs, three-hitter Joe MacDonald went 2-for-2 with three runs batted in and two runs scored, Darryl Callaghan 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in the first and three RBIs.
Larry Childs also had a solid night at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double and two runs.

Things were close in the early going, as Moose Jaw led 4-2 through three, but a four-run fourth blew things open and they’d tack on another two runs in the sixth.

Canadians 7, Cowboys 6

The Canadians sent 11 batters to the plate in the third inning, racking up five runs on six hits and taking a 6-4 lead.

As it turns out, they’d need every one of those runs, as the Cowboys clawed back to within one heading into the final inning. They’d get the tying run to third, but Canadians reliever Xavier Tremblay would induce a pair of infield fly-outs to close out the game.

Brad Reaney had a two-run double in the Canadians’ big inning and scored a pair of runs, while Kent Barber had a triple in the same frame and scored a run. Bryce Crosbie also crossed the plate twice.

Blake Dixon got the start and allowed six runs on seven hits, striking out six and walking three. Tremblay allowed two hits and no runs while striking out four over the final two innings.
