Wild night at the ball park!

Your Edmonton Prospects (5-11) won their 2nd extra inning game of the week defeating the Moose Jaw Miller Express (7-11) by the score of 6-5 in 10 innings.

Prospects Starting Pitcher Craig George would go 8 and 1/3 innings, earning himself a pat on the back for a strong performance!  George would spread out 9 hits over his 8 innings of work while being charged with 3 runs. 

The Prospects quickly got back the 1st inning run allowed by George, when leadoff batter CF Grant Glasser doubled and then 5 pitches later was singled home by SS Kevin Czarnecki.

During the 3rd inning, Prospects fans unknowingly saw an act of foreshadowing as 3B Chase Kuehl would score on a wild pitch.

Our Prospects would bump the lead to 3-1 during the 4th inning when Czarnecki would earn his 2nd RBI of the game with a 2-out single scoring DH Matthew Miller.

Now down 4-3 in the bottom of the 9th, Czarnecki would single, steal 2nd base then advance to 3rd base on a wild pitch.  LF Brandon Bufton would drive him with a sacrifice fly and off to extra innings we went.

In the bottom of the 10th, down 5-4, this is when the game got wild.  Prospect pinch runner, Jarryd Klemm would score on a wild pitch to tie the game.  Two batters later, Miles Shelton Jr would score the game winning run on yet another wild pitch.
