The Canucks would commit a total of five errors in the third inning against the Assiniboia Aces in Assiniboia -- all with two outs -- leading to a four-run frame for the home team. That would prove to be the difference in the game, as the Aces would go on to take a 5-3 victory.
Outside the one bad inning, the Canucks were able to get through the rest of the contest largely unscathed: Assiniboia put up a run in the first, but other than that, had only four hits in the contest.
A large part of that was due to Owen Csada. The Canucks starter tossed four innings and allowed only three hits while striking out four and walking three. He’d allow five runs, only one of which was earned.
Rylan Caplette-Tarrant pitched the final two innings and gave up a single hit and no runs.
The Canucks attempted a comeback in the sixth, sending eight batters to the plate and scoring three runs while taking advantage of a pair of Aces errors, but they’d leave runners on first and second to close out the inning.
Moose Jaw had only three hits on the night, with Noah Thul, Nathan Pisio and Cooper Gregor scoring their runs. Pisio and Csada each had runs batted in.
The Canucks fell to 1-5 on the season and are back in action Saturday, June 26 when they host the South East A’s for a doubleheader. Games are at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Swarbrick Diamond.
