Pre-tournament homework

The WCBL West Division Championship kicked off last night (August 6), and the Brooks Bombers had a ruff go of it.

With a final score of 11-4, the Okotoks Dawgs started the playoffs on the right foot, as they chase their fourth consecutive championship title.

The game started off quiet, but the Dawgs opened up the game with a four-run second inning, and managed to score in almost every inning after that.

Not only were the Dawgs able to hold off the Bombers from scoring for the first five innings to secure the win, but they also saw success at the plate.

The chuckwagons are in Dawson Creek, B.C., this week for the latest leg of the WPCA Pro Tour.

Day one of the Battle of the North was held on Aug. 6 and saw Evan Magee take the top spot, followed by High River's Jason Glass, who finished just ten one-hundredths of a second behind.

Glass currently holds the number one spot in the WPCA world standings.

Dayton Sutherland of De Winton landed in ninth place, with Jordie Fike of Blackie placing 15th.

The Battle of the North continues nightly until Sunday, August 10.

The Moose Jaw Miller Express are one win away from pulling off a major upset in the Western Canadian Baseball League playoffs.

For the third straight year, and for a third straight time against the Veteran Bulls, the Macklin Lakers are Battle River Baseball League champions after their 4-2 win on Thursday night completed a series comeback, keeping the trophy in Saskatchewan for another year.

The Lakers used a strong start from Jared Hillis on the mound, throwing 5.1 innings with only two runs allowed, making way for Cody Gartner who closed the game with 1.2 innings in relief. 

It was a thrilling game, and heartbreaking loss for the Unity Cardinals on Thursday night in Wilkie. The Cardinals lost 6-5 in extra innings to the North Battleford Beavers, who completed a series comeback to win the 2025 North Saskatchewan River Baseball League title.
