Beavers host Unity for opening game of NSRBL playoffs
The playoffs begin tonight (Tuesday) for the North Battleford Beavers, as the team will venture out on their first steps of what they hope to be a lengthy playoff run.
The second seed overall in the North Sask River Baseball League (NSRBL) standings heading into the postseason, the Beavers (10-3) will play the ninth-place Unity Junior Cardinals (4-10), who topped Lloydminster 6-3 in their wildcard game to earn the #7 seed heading into the postseason.
The Beavers enter the playoffs red-hot, having lost just three games all season. The lone team to finish with at least five wins both at home and on the road during the 13-game regular season, the Beavers’ .769 win percentage was tied with first place Macklin for best in the league.
It also marked the club’s most successful season in over a decade, dating back to pre-2010.
