Two More Wins

The Supers won both games this week to clinch a playoff spot.

Monday June 27: Supers 5 at Roblin Stars 0

Ace pitcher Kody Rock took the ball on this night, and simply controlled the game from start to finish. He struck out fourteen and had a no hitter bid spoiled with two outs in the bottom of the seventh on a single to right field. But that was all Roblin could come up with in the Supers 5-0 victory.

Ian Quewezace and Nate Wolos led the way with two hits apiece. Rock, Sean Kolodziejski, and Jeff Bahrey each smacked a double. Porter Wolkowski, Kholton Shewchuk, and Darcy Blommaert each hit a single. This was long time veteran Bahrey's first appearance as a Super in many years, but he was thrilled to put on the jersey once again. Zane Bayer of Sturgis also made his Supers debut, playing the game in center field.

June 29: Supers 3 Yorkton Marlins 2 in Canora

Environment Canada issued a severe weather alert for the area about an hour before game time, and the clouds to the west were threatening. Just after 6 PM a thunderstorm passed over Canora with bursts of heavy rain, lightning, and hail. But when all was said and done, the field soaked up the water, the shale was raked and the game started fifteen minutes after it was originally scheduled. It ended up being a pitchers duel between Kholton Shewchuk and Tanner Nesbitt with the Supers coming out on top 3-2.

Shewchuk pitched all seven innings, giving up just two runs on five hits with three strikeouts for the win. 

The offence all came in the first inning as Kody Rock had an rbi single, and Travis Mentanko blasted a two run home run over the center field fence. Hunter Lamb drilled a double deep to right field in the sixth inning to record his first Supers hit. 

With the wins the Supers improve to 7-2 on the season, and guarantee a playoff position as four of the five teams qualify. A win next week over Langenburg will guarantee a first overall finish. Next action will be on Tuesday July 5 in Yorkton vs the Marlins. First pitch is set for 8:30 PM
