The Prairie Dogs faced the Lumsden Cubs in pair of games on Saturday, Aug. 15 and ran into a bit of adversity in the first game of the doubleheader before securing a 10-6 win.
The Cubs would do all their damage in the second inning, batting through their order and scoring six runs. Moose Jaw would get two of those back in the third, though, and tack on a six-spot of their own in the fourth before salting things away with another two runs in the fifth.
Drayson Silbernagel, Ronan Tonge and Dillion Flanagan scored two runs each in the game, while Burke Bechard reached base three times.
There were no such concerns in the second game, as the Prairie Dogs would put up plenty of offence on their way to a 21-5 victory. It was more of the same in their next game on Monday, Aug. 17 as Moose Jaw picked up another blow-out, rolling to a 22-7 win over the Regina Pacers.
The Prairie Dogs improved to 11-2 in the Baseball Regina standings and hold down second place in the nine-team league. In first? None other than the 12-1 Moose Jaw Canucks.
And sure enough, the two teams will be on the diamond against one another on Sunday evening at Vanstone Diamond in Parkhill Park. The Canucks won the first match-up between the two teams in commanding fashion, taking a 15-3 victory back on Aug. 3, leaving both squads looking forward to the rematch.
Game time is 5:45 p.m.
