Midget Beavers look to provincials after league finals
The Midget AA North Battleford Beavers are looking ahead to hosting provincials, after narrowly losing the league final.
The Beavers lost to Moose Jaw 8-7 Sunday, July 18, in the final of the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League AA final in Humboldt. Michael Hudec, a coach with the Beavers, said it was a surprising way to get into the final, defeating the host Humboldt team with a 4-3 extra innings win.
“We had one of our batters, Brett Benoit, who was being intentionally walked, and he surprised the opposing pitcher and whacked a single out to right field and won the game for us. So it was an exciting way to get there,” Hudec said.
He added the team played well in the final, but let it slip away at the end.
