Weyburn Beavers

Tom Laing Park has now been the scene of two no-hitters since 2019 in WCBL play. For the Weyburn Beavers, unfortunately, this time they were on the receiving end of the pitching performance Saturday night. 

A rally in the eighth inning from the visiting Sylvan Lake Gulls ended the chance for the Weyburn Beavers to end their losing streak Friday night. The Gulls scored seven runs in the inning, overcoming a 3-1 deficit in the process. Sylvan Lake went on to hold off a rally from the Beavers to win 8-7.

In last night’s double header between the Weyburn Beavers and the Swift Current 57s, Weyburn was defeated in both games. 

The Beavers fell 8-3 in game 1, and 6-4 in game 2. In the 1st game, both teams earned 1 run in the 8th inning, and had doubles in the 9th inning. Swift Current then had five runs in the 10th. In game 2, Swift Current earned 4 points in the 1st inning, and Weyburn was unable to close the gap. The two teams got 1 run in the 3rd and 5th innings, and Weyburn earned 2 in the 4th inning.

The Weyburn Beavers had their winning streak halted Sunday afternoon at Tom Laing Park, as they dropped a 10-4 decision to the Regina Red Sox. The Beavers found themselves stymied at the plate, only collecting four hits, while the Red Sox were able to navigate their way around the strike zone to get 14 hits off the pitching staff. 

Rain delays, walks and wild pitches could be the best way to describe the night for the Weyburn Beavers Saturday for the Weyburn Beavers. They would see their game in Moose Jaw interrupted by rain, which delayed the game for around an hour. The Beavers would be walked a total of 12 times over the course of the game, with two batters hit by a pitch and two wild pitches from Moose Jaw pitchers all helping to an 8-4 victory. 

It was a thriller that came down to the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning Friday night. Just one pitch would change everything, and the Weyburn Beavers would come away with their third win in a row – a 6-5 victory over the Edmonton Prospects. 

Weyburn had built up a 5-1 lead before the Prospects rallied back in the eighth inning to tie the game up. Neither team was able to score in the ninth inning, forcing extra innings. 

The Weyburn Beavers made it two wins in a row at Tom Laing Park Thursday night. They limited the Edmonton Prospects to five hits, while Caelan Dalman and Koby Kropf went yard in a 2-1 win. 

“I love bombs,” said head coach Dusty Kerns after the game. “All my guys, they’ve got over the fence pop so I’m going to let them go.” 

The Weyburn Beavers made their long-awaited return to Tom Laing Park Monday night. It was the first time the team had taken the field here since August of 2019. 

The Beavers played host to the Swift Current 57s Monday and were looking to reverse a four-game losing streak to start the season. Weyburn came out swinging, putting up 11 runs. The visitors, though, came out swinging as well and used a six-run 9th inning to win 13-11. 

The Weyburn Beavers took to the road for the last time before their belated home opener Sunday afternoon, heading to Moose Jaw where they played the Miller Express for the third time in a week. The Beavers would put up eight runs in the final three innings, but couldn’t close the gap in the ninth, falling 11-10 for their fourth road loss in a row.
