It wasn’t the start that the Moose Jaw Miller Express was hoping for to open the 2022 Western Canadian Baseball League playoffs. 

The Miller Express held their home opener on Friday night at Ross Wells Park, dropping a 3-2 decision to the Medicine Hat Mavericks. 

Moose Jaw found themselves down 3-0 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning when Nate Mensik hit a two-run home run to get the Miller Express within one, but couldn’t find the tying run. 

Members of the Moose Jaw Police Service will be serving up pizza at the Boston Pizza Manitoba Street East location tomorrow for Special Olympics Saskatchewan.

The Moose Jaw Flying Fins swam away with 16 medals at the Regina Optimist Dolphin Invitational last weekend. 

Sixteen swimmers from Moose Jaw competed against over 200 swimmers from across the province.

Some major equipment has arrived at the site of SaskPower’s future Great Plains Power Station, located in the Agri-Food Industrial Power just south of the city. 

This includes the main gas turbine, which travelled from Yellow Grass to Moose Jaw on Tuesday night. The turbine itself weighs about half a million pounds. 

You may have noticed some paving work that is taking place on Main Street, north of Thatcher Drive. 

The paving is expected to continue for the remainder of this week, so traffic will be restricted to one lane. 

Meanwhile, the Main Street exit ramp off of Highway 1 eastbound will be closed. A detour is in place before the Ninth Avenue intersection diverting over-height loads heading east on Highway 1 to the North Service Road. 

There is also construction in the right turning lane on Highway 1 westbound near the JGL intersection.

Funnel clouds and tornadoes were seen northwest of Moose Jaw near the village of Keeler with the storm heading southeast.
