Mavericks Win Playoff Opener

The sixth seed Minnedosa Mavericks stole game 1 of their best of 3 quarter final series last night with a 2-0 win over the Austin A's. John Hutton picked up the win throwing 3 plus, he and Austin Taylor combined for a 3 hit shutout. Austin sent young lefty Nolan Marriott to the mound, and he pitched quite well himself with his only blemish being 3 hits in the 3rd inning. 

The Mavericks offense all came in that 3rd inning when Carter Hedley doubled to start the inning. Hedley would be knocked in by an Andrew Richards single to take the 1-0 lead, Mitch Hutton would later single to score Richards making it 2-0. A score that would hold up the rest of the way. 

Game 2 goes Friday night in Minnedosa at 7pm 

Portage heads to Neepawa on Friday for game 1 of their best of 3 matchup. Portage will host game 2 and then game 3 if necessary
