Beavers eliminated in NSRBL playoffs
A first round exit punctuated the end of an up and down season for the North Battleford Beavers.
The 7-9 Beavers were the eighth seed in the 2016 NSRBL season and drew the top seeded 13-3 Lloydminster Twins in the first round. The Twins took the series in two games, ending the Beavers season.
Beavers’ player-manager Rory Gregoire said it’s never a good thing to lose in the playoffs when there are still games going on.
“I mean I think the way our season went, we had some ups and downs. I think our pitching was a lower point of our season and we got fortunate enough at the end of the year to sneak ourselves into playoffs,” Gregoire said.
