UNITY — Finishing the North Saskatchewan River Baseball League season in first place with 13 wins and one loss, the Unity Cardinals are in a strong position going into the quarter-final playoff round.
The Cards will take on the basement-dweller Mervin Flyers, who had only one win all season, in the quarterfinals with the first home game 小蓝视频 tonight, July 10, at the Wilkie Regional Park. Game two is in Mervin July 15 and game three, if needed in the best-of-three series, will be back in Wilkie July 16.
Second-place North Battleford Beavers, 12-2, play Glaslyn Orioles, 3-11, while the Standard Hill Lakers, 8-6, will compete with the Lloydminster Twins, 5-8-1, in the playoff first round. In the middle of the pack are the Lashburn Cardinals, 7-7 and the Oil City Ducks, 6-7-1.
Individual players making the top 10 list in the batting stats were Tanner Huber with an average of .459, good for fifth place in the league, and Kaden Cey at .448 for sixth.
