U18 AA Canucks Come From Behind To Win Postponed Rainy Day Game

Usually make up games mean nothing at the end of the regular season.

But for the Moose Jaw U18 AA Canucks a win on Monday night accompanied by a win by the Regina Wolfpack would mean the world.

It was a chance to move from sixth to fifth place in the standings and what Canucks head coach Zach Klyne saw as a move to an easier pool at this weekend’s upcoming Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League (SPBL) provincial championships.

Monday’s game versus the visiting Regiba Bluejays started in the bottom of the fourth inning - the exact spot and score where on June 26th a game was called due to lightning and rain.

“They played really well. Van (Sinclair) pitched well in the first half of the game that got rained out. He came out and pitched really well for two innings and got us an out in the final inning.

The Canucks scored five runs in the fifth inning to take command.

The Canucks would go on to an 8 - 7 victory.

Editors Note: In Regina the Wolfpack did not win but tied 3 - 3 with the Regina White Sox,
