Weyburn Beavers

The Weyburn Beavers were looking to bounce back from their loss Wednesday night as they took the field in Regina against the Red Sox Thursday. The Red Sox would capitalize on a seven-run inning, though, and kept the bats of the Beavers at bay en route to a 12-1 victory. 

Braeden Cordes would be responsible for the lone run for the Beavers, as he hit a double to left field that cashed in Will Baker in the third inning. By that time, though, the damage had already been done as Regina scored seven runs in the second inning of the game.  

The Weyburn Beavers were looking to make it two wins in a row Wednesday night as the Moose Jaw Miller Express came to town. The Miller Express, though, were hoping to keep their winning streak intact. It would be the visitors coming out on top, with a rally in the seventh inning that helped lift them to a 7-1 victory. 

The Weyburn Beavers will be well-represented when the WCBL All-Star game is played on July 23rd in Okotoks. There were seven members of the team named to the East Division squad.  

Leading the way is Nolan Machibroda. He is tied for second in home runs in the league this season, with six. He also leads the league in RBIs with 34. Over the 33 games he has played this season, he is batting .336. 

The Weyburn Beavers closed out their road trip to Alberta Sunday afternoon in Brooks. The game between the Beavers and the Bombers was tied 3-3 heading into the sixth inning when the Bombers exploded for eight runs and came away with a 14-3 victory. 

In the loss, Ryan Dauphinee hit a solo home run for the Beavers, with the other runs being driven in by Braeden Cordes and Will Baker, who had a double each.  

The Weyburn Beavers got back into the win column Saturday night, as they held off the Lethbridge Bulls for a 10-7 victory. 

Nolan Machibroda hit his league-leading sixth home run of the season and added four RBIs to take the league lead in that category, in the win. Also driving in runs for the Beavers in the victory were Caelan Dalman, Koby Kropf, Ryan Dauphinee and Matthew Armendariz.  

The Weyburn Beavers dropped their ninth game in a row Friday night, as they continued their road trip in Lethbridge. The Beavers would have a 7-6 lead after the fourth inning, but then the Bulls rallied to take the lead and held on for a 14-12 victory. 

A rough night for the Weyburn Beavers as they continued their Alberta road swing Wednesday. The Beavers would give up six runs in the eighth inning, falling 13-3 to the Okotoks Dawgs. The loss is the seventh in a row for the Beavers, who are now 7-22 on the season and are four games out of a playoff spot at the halfway point of the season. 

After a rough start to the night, the Weyburn Beavers settled in and battled back against the Medicine Hat Mavericks. However, a called strike, that most fans at Tom Laing Park thought should have been called a ball, with the bases loaded ended the comeback attempt, as the Mavericks won 6-5. 

The Weyburn Beavers would find themselves on the road for a pair of games Friday, but not against the same team, or even in the same city. The first game would be a matinee affair in Regina, against the Red Sox. After those nine innings were done, the Beavers hopped on the bus and headed to Moose Jaw to take on the Miller Express in an evening game. 

The quirk of the schedule, however, did not favour the Beavers. They would end up losing both of the games in a rather decisive fashion. 

The Weyburn Beavers collected 19 hits, eight doubles, 11 RBI and 14 runs, but it wasn’t enough to outlast the Swift Current 57s Thursday night. In a 12-inning marathon game, the 57s would come away with a 15-14 victory. 

The pitching staff for the Beavers combined for 15 strikeouts and 10 walks over the course of the game, with all 15 runs allowed being earned.
