Weyburn Beavers

The Weyburn Beavers, after splitting a weekend series with the Okotoks Dawgs, were in Regina Tuesday night. The Beavers would come out swinging, building off an early lead to pick up a 7-5 victory. 

The Western Canadian Baseball League unveiled the all-star teams for the upcoming All-Star Game Saturday in Okotoks, and the Weyburn Beavers will be well-represented.  

Three pitchers from the Beavers will be representing Weyburn at the event, and three position players will be as well. 

The Okotoks Dawgs showcased their offensive prowess in a lopsided victory over the Weyburn Beavers on Sunday afternoon. The 15-1 win for the West Division-leading Dawgs came just one day after the Beavers had topped Okotoks 4-2.

The Weyburn Beavers, who entered action Saturday afternoon last in the East Division of the Western Canadian Baseball League, entertained the Okotoks Dawgs at Tom Laing Park. Okotoks came into the game in first place overall in the league.

The Beavers, however, looked like the odds-on favourite in the game, as they handily topped the Dawgs 4-2, snapping a 10-game losing streak.

In a tight game Tuesday, the Swift Current 57s managed to rally back to pick up a 5-4 win against the Weyburn Beavers. Weyburn had started off with an early lead, but the 57s managed to chip away at it, ultimately leading to the final score.  

The Weyburn Beavers wrapped up a two-game set against the Medicine Hat Mavericks Thursday night. They were looking to make a victorious return home at Tom Laing Park after their Alberta road swing. However, the Mavericks had other plans in mind and would take both games.  

The Weyburn Beavers wrapped up their Alberta road swing in Brooks Tuesday night, finishing off six games in six days. The last game of the trip, though, will be one the players will be looking to shake off when they get back on the field at Tom Laing Park Wednesday.  

Despite a strong performance on the mound from starting pitcher Angel Rios, the Weyburn Beavers came up short Wednesday night, falling 9-3 to the visiting Fort McMurray Giants. 

Rios would come out of the gate strong, with four strikeouts in the first two innings of the game. He would finish up five innings of work with six strikeouts. The 6th inning, though, would prove to be his undoing. He was tagged with six runs, four earned, in the game, including four in the 6th as he was credited with the loss. 

The Weyburn Beavers broke out of their slump in a big way Monday night.

They were entertaining one of the most potent offences in the WCBL – the Brooks Bombers – and managed to hold them to just four runs, while finding a way to bring seven runs of their own across the plate, picking up the 7-4 victory and improving to 3-8 on the season.

A rally in the top of the ninth inning would prove to be the difference in Tuesday night's game between the Weyburn Beavers and the Moose Jaw Miller Express. Small ball would be the key for the first place Miller Express as they scored two runs to take a 5-4 lead, then held on for the victory.
