Beavers ready for big game tonight
It’s a big night in the North Saskatchewan River Baseball League.
The 8-1 Meadow Lake Sox are taking on the 5-1 North Battleford Beavers in a battle that will determine seeding for the playoffs, as the league is now at the halfway point in its schedule. Beavers Head Coach Ryan Shepard said he knows how important tonight is.
“Our playoff format is top eight, so it’s important to get a win here and there and everywhere,” Shepard said. “A team like Meadow Lake, you really want to push to get that win. You want to do the best you can and they have a few good bats and a couple good arms there that are hard to get through. We need to set the pace at the start of the game.”
The Beavers were on quite a roll until they ran into a tough opponent in the Border City Blue Jays last week, losing 8-0.
