Game Against Sherwood Park Postponed
Tonight's contest between the Sherwood Park Athletics and Edmonton Warriors has been postponed due to rain. No make up date has been announced. Next game is May 29 in Camrose against the host Axemen.
Warriors Lose To Mets
The Edmonton Warriors squared off with the Mayerthorpe Mets on a cool and rainy night at Footz Field. The Warriors ended up losing the game 3-1 as the Mets scored three runs in the third inning and the Warriors offence once again couldn't get on track.
The Warriors offence went up against Kevin Geinger from the Mayerthorpe Mets. Geinger went five innings, recording the win, before turning the ball over to Mike Cote for the save. The Warriors were only able to score one run on four hits against the Mets staff. Their lone run came in the third inning as Brett Babkirk reached with a lead off single. Jesse Anderson followed with a walk and Evan Hoffman singled on a hard ground ball into left. The Warriors had the bases loaded with no outs but Rob Horner hit into a taylor made double play ball to the shortstop. A run scored on the play and Ryan Kotlarchuk followed with a two out walk, but the inning ended when Brad McCorry grounded out ending the Warriors rally.
Jesse Anderson got the ball for the second consequtive game and once again was excellent. He allowed three runs, all earned, on three hits while striking out five in the wet conditions. His only down fall came in the third when he hit three Mets batters in the same inning. Ryan Lyster made Anderson pay for the mistakes as he doubled to the left field wall. The Warriors defence was a lot better, although they still committed two errors, as they turned three double plays on the night.
The Warriors have a week off for the May long weekend but get back at it on Wednesday May 23 as they play host to the Sherwood Park Athletics. Twice last year the Athletics won in walk off fashion against the Warriors so they will be looking to seek some revenge and get into the win column.
