On a smoky Friday night in Humboldt, hundreds of patrons, twenty hardy runners, an organization of tireless volunteers, and one very special doctor convened at the Humboldt Uniplex for the annual 4X4X48 run and Dine and Dash.

The East Central 18UAAA Red Sox picked up a pair of wins at home, besting the South East Twins in their Saturday double header. 

Pryor Dyck had a strong showing on the mound for the Red Sox with seven full innings giving up only four hits and a single run in the 5-1 opener.  

The Red Sox got it going in the first with a single by Graydn Wilson and a double to centre by Jarret Rude, each knocking in one on their way to the win. An error in the second resulted in a 3-0 score.
