So Close

Our Edmonton Prospects (5-12) would fall just short last night at Telus Field losing to the Moose Jaw Miller Express (8-11) by the score of 9-6.

Our Prospects would open the scoring in the 1st inning when RF Ethan Sterkel would single driving home CF Grant Glasser.

After Moose Jaw put up three runs in the second inning, our Prospects would get one back in the third.  DH Chase Kuehl with the sacrifice fly to plate SS Kevin Czarnecki.

Down 5-2 going into the bottom of the 5th, our Prospects would cut the lead to one.  With one out, Moose Jaw would turn to their bullpen for help.  A wild throw to first base cashing in Prospects 1B Markus Fergusson probably was not the in the masterplan.  That same at bat, Prospects C Jarryd Klemm would earn his first RBI of the season with a groundout scoring 3B Cody Kielsa.

Coming out of the 7th inning stretch, our Prospects were down 6-4.  Markus Fergusson, who deserves a pat on the back for an outstanding game going 4-5, would triple earning himself an RBI to top off his night.  The still hot Ethan Sterkel would cross the plate on the plate on the play, Sterkel most definitely earns a pat on the back for  what has been an 18-27 stretch at the plate the past week!  Cody Kielsa would then drive in the game tying run.

Alas the game would slip away in the Top of the 8th, all with 2 outs to add salt to the wound.  The Miller Express would score the last three runs of the game.

NUGGET

Our Prospects would steal an AMAZING 10 Bases during the game.
