It was a ruckus night at Beaver Lions Stadium Tuesday evening, as the hometown North Battleford Beavers topped the rival Wilkie Brewers 3-0 to tie their quarterfinals best-of-three series at a game apiece.
The proverbial cards are now on the table, as the victory sets up a winner-take-all game three Wednesday, July 21, in Wilkie where the victor will advance to the league semifinals.
Beavers’ pitcher, Kelly Baillargeon led the way for the club in game two, surrendering just three hits with no runs allowed through seven innings pitched. However, the Edam, Sask., product was quick to share credit with his teammates as well for their performance with the chips down and season on the line.
“That was probably our best game of the year by far, as I don’t think we made a single error and we played really well,” Baillargeon said. “I was just able to throw strikes and when the team’s playing that good behind you, it’s nice knowing you can put the ball in play and count on them getting the out for you [when needed].”
