They scored 4 runs in the 6th inning and 3 more in the 7th and that's all they needed - the Regina Red Sox beat the Miller Express in Moose Jaw 7-4 last night.

Leadoff hitter Ian Montz did most of the damage, going 3 for 6 at the plate with 4 RBI. Meanwhile, Robert Estrada hit a home run for the Millers.

One other East Division team was in action last night - the Weyburn Beavers suffered an 11-8 loss in Medicine Hat and that's where the Millers will play tonight against the Mavericks.
