Weyburn Beavers

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.  

Jared Miller threw 6 1/3 innings of no-hit baseball, and Blaine French hit a three-run blast in the second inning, as the Weyburn Beavers bounced back from Tuesday’s loss with a 9-3 win over the Moose Jaw Miller Express Wednesday night. 

The bats for the beavers kept the bullpen of the Miller Express busy as well, as they would go through five pitchers, who combined for 12 hits and ten walks in the game, and only two of those pitchers lasted longer than two innings. 

It was a rough weekend for the Weyburn Beavers as they had their first road trip of the season. They were in Medicine Hat for a pair of games and came out on the short end of the scoreboard in both match-ups. Saturday, they fell 10-2, while Sunday was a 14-6 loss. 

In the game Saturday, the Mavericks would put up nine runs in the middle three innings, then held off the Beavers to preserve the victory. Weyburn was limited to just five hits in the loss.  

The Weyburn Beavers would get a complete game Friday night from pitcher Josh Wintroub, while the bats would ensure he had room to work. The effort worked, as the Beavers shut out the Regina Red Sox 7-0 at Tom Laing Park. 

As hundreds of school kids packed the park for the annual School Night, Wintroub went to work on the mound, limiting Regina to just three hits all game. Those would be the only three base runners allowed, as he didn’t walk anyone either. 

The Weyburn Beavers returned to the diamond Wednesday night, looking to pick up another win over the Red Sox in Regina. The Red Sox, though, would be the ones to come out on top, picking up a 7-1 victory.  

The Weyburn Beavers snapped a six-game losing streak Sunday night, as they held on to beat the Regina Red Sox 4-3.  

The Beavers were helped by a strong performance on the mound from Jace Wessels. The pitcher from Clarkston, Washington went seven innings, striking out six, and allowing three runs on eight hits. From there, Anthony Portcellato and Matthew Armendariz took over for the eighth inning. They would keep the Red Sox off the board. 

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.
