Season Opening Loss

The Supers opened the season in Yorkton on Thursday May 16 against the Parkland Pirates. It was a night dominated by the pitchers as Kody Rock of the Supers and Evan McCubbing of the Pirates both were on their games. Unfortunately the Supers offence stalled, and the Pirates were able to capitalize on their chances in a 3-2 Supers loss.

Rock was the player of the game as he tossed six innings, allowing three runs (one earned), five hits with twelve strikeouts to finish as the tough luck losing pitcher. He also contributed with a double, walk, rbi and stolen base to fill the stat sheet.

The rest of the offence could only generate three hits as Shae Peterson missed a home run by only a few feet with a double off the wall, while Nathaniel Minhinnick and Derek Palagian each had a single. 

Former Langenburg Legends Jordan Auger and Tyrel Thorpe each made their Supers debuts on this evening. The Legends are taking the year off from the league, and both veteran players still have the desire to keep playing. Thorpe caught the game while Auger played outfield.

The next game for the Supers will be Thursday, May 23 in Yorkton at 6:30 PM as they visit the Saltcoats Lakers. The Lakers will play their home games in Yorkton this season as their home field is being refurbished at Saltcoats Regional Park.
