Thursday

With their 19-7 win over Quebec, Saskatchewan has scored 34 runs in 10 innings of play today. They moved into first place by themselves in the SaskatoonInn - Black Pool with a 4-0 record. Newfoundland’s big win over Argentina really makes things interesting as those 2 teams sit at 3-1 and one game behind Saskatchewan. Finishing first or second in the pool will provide a team with 2 lives in the playoffs. The final game of the preliminary round Friday at 8:30 at Bob Van  Impe Stadium will feature Saskatchewan and Argentina. If Saskatchewan wins, the placements will be clear as they will be first and Newfoundland second. If they lose, runs for and against come into play clouding things up considerably.

In the Red- Al Anderson’s pool Ontario looks to be ready to claim first, as they are already sitting with a 4-0 record including wins over their two closest opponents Alberta and ISA New Zealand. Those two teams play each other at 1:00 at Bob Van Impe Stadium. The winner will place second to Ontario and will be in good shape going into the playoffs.

What a day for Newfoundland's Jeremy OReilly . In the two Newfoundland wins he went 5 for 6 with  2 home runs and  9 RBI.

Newfoundland smashed out 16 hits in four innings to destroy Argentina 13-3. Argentina went through 5 different pitchers in the first two innings as they could not keep the Newfies at bay. Newfoundland now creates confusion in the race for first in the Saskatoon Inn Black Pool. Saskatchewan has a chance to move into first place by themselves if they beat Quebec next.

Ontario downs Manitoba 9-0 in 5 innings. Ontario pitchers held Manitoba to 1 hit.

Saskatchewan and Northwest Territories combine for 29 hits. Saskatchewan wins 15- 8.

New Brunswick battles New Zealand into extra innings. The Kiwi's exploded in the  8th for 6 runs to win 8-2.

The two international teams play today. ISA New Zealand will try to come back after a hard fought 13-10 loss to championship favorite Ontario, when they play New Brunswick at 2:00 at Gordie Howe.  Undefeated Argentina will kick off the night's actions at Bob Van ImpeStadium at 6:30 with a huge match up against Newfoundland (who have 11 players  from the 2012  U21 Canadian Championship Team)  both these teams have high powered offenses so it should be an exciting affair.

Saskatchewan plays two big games today. After wins over Newfoundland and BC, Dave McCullough’s crew finds themselves in a first place tie with Argentina in their pool. They will take on Northwest Territories at 3:00 and Quebec at 8:30, both games at Bob Van ImpeStadium. These are critical match ups as at least one win will set up Team Sask for a first place showdown in the Saskatoon Inn Black Pool with Argentina, Friday at 8:30 in the last game of the preliminary round. It is critical to finish in the top 2 in your pool as this will allow for 2 lives in the playoff round that starts Saturday at 10:00 am.
