Five Wins in a Row
Posted June 12, 2023
The Supers extended their winning streak to five on Friday night in Canora as the Langenburg Legends came to town. With a 5-0 Supers lead, the Legends put up three runs in the top of the sixth inning to make the game interesting. But a nine run bottom of the sixth erased that as the Supers triumphed 14-5.
Kody Rock started on the hill and cruised through five innings while allowing no runs on three hits and seven strikeouts to pick up the win. Clay Sleeva made his first pitching appearance in two years, and first as a Super by recording two outs in the top of the sixth. Dylan Toffan closed out the final 1 1/3 inning to record the save as he entered the game with the Supers up three runs.
The offence was on fire as seventeen hits were recorded. Rock, Travis Mentanko, and Grady Wolkowski each had a home run. Rock also had two singles to continue his torrid hitting. Nate Wolos, Nathaniel Minhinnick, Clay Sleeva, Kholton Shewchuk and Dylan Toffan all had two hits. Ty Sleeva and Derek Palagian each recorded a hit as well.
The game also featured about a ten minute delay as the sprinkler system was accidentally activated in the top of the sixth inning. Town of Canora staff quickly shut the water off and the game resumed, ending the humerous occurence.
With the win the Supers record improved to 6-1. Next action is Wednesday, June 14 as the Yorkton Marlins come to Al Sapieha Field for a 6:30 first pitch!
