The Edmonton Prospects (1-6) travel to Swift Current for games on Tuesday & Wednesday against the Indians (3-3)
What was a tough first week of the season for the Prospects, there are bright spots to light the path ahead.
Grant Glasser is riding a 6 game hitting streak. Kevin Czarnecki has hit in all 5 games he has played. Also Aubrey Dezarn is on a 2 game HR streak (the only 2 HR's the team has hit). In general, the two game series in Okotoks seemed to have awaken the teams bats as the team accumulated 6 extra-base hits to raise their season total to 10.
An area that needs to continue to improve is the pitching. With an average of over 12 runs scored against per game, improvement seems to be the only way to go. Bordering on the side of simply being a homer, one simply allows himself to believe that the inflated week one numbers are just that, inflated numbers!
As for the Swift Current Indians, they return home after a modest 2 game losing streak. There most recent game was a heart breaking bottom of the 9th, one run loss last night in Medicine Hat.
Go get'em Prospects!!
