The Moose Jaw Miller Express battled back from an early deficit to edge the Okotoks Dawgs 12-11 in a dramatic extra-inning win on Wednesday night at Ross Wells Park. 

It was a rough start for the Miller Express, who gave up five runs in the top of the first inning. But the home side answered quickly, scoring three runs in the bottom half. Austin Gurney delivered a two-run single to bring home Thomas Soto and William Edwards, and Tanner DeGrazia added a sacrifice fly to centre field to plate Gurney and make it a 5-3 game. 

The 2025 SJHL Draft came and went on Tuesday with the Kindersley Jr. Klippers making eight selections to bolster their prospect pool.

The East Central 15U AAA Dodgers emerged victorious Wednesday night with a 4-1 win over the Saskatoon Brewers.
