Beavers battle through adversity
For the second time in two days, the North Battleford Beavers blew a late lead but were able to rally back to win.
They won two games against the Regina Buffalos, 8-4 and 16-8. While the score seemed substantial, the team almost lost the latter game.
“We thought we had it in the bag when we were up 6-1 but they kept coming at us,” coach of the Beavers Michael Hudek said. “We blew it in the fifth inning but were able to come back at the bottom of the fifth and score 9 runs so the boy’s bats came alive and we really took it to them in that inning.”
According to coach Hudek, the ability to come back late in games is the biggest difference between this year’s team and last year’s. The Beavers sit in first place with a 6-1-1 record which is the opposite of their 1-1-4 record at this point last year.
