Saturday Night's are for Baseball

Living in Edmonton, one understands that from October through April, Saturday night's are reserved for hockey. 

Today is the 1st Saturday of July and Environment Canada is forecasting a +29 day.  That's baseball weather at its finest and Telus Field is one of the finest ballparks in all of Alberta! You do not need to be a diehard baseball fan to enjoy an Edmonton Prospects game.  All you need to do is like hot weather and cold beverages, we will do the rest for you!!

TONIGHT'S GAME

The re-match versus the division leading Medicine Hat Mavericks begins at 7:05PM.  Medicine Hat won the opener last night but their are reasons to believe tonight will be OUR night.

Your starting pitcher for the Edmonton Prospects is Craig George.  George (0-1) has an ERA of 3.20 which ranks 15th best overall in the league.  In just under 20 innings played, George has only issued 3 walks!!

Our offence had 3 notable names missing from the lineup last night (rest/flu) in RF Ethan Sterkel, LF Brandon Bufton and 3B Chase Kuehl.

Sterkel is your Prospect team leader in batting average with an astounding .412 average.  His batting average is tied for 2nd overall in the league.

Bufton is among a three way tie for leader on your Prospects with 11 RBI.

Kuehl is among a two way tie for leader on your Prospects with 4 doubles.

NUGGET

CF Grant Glasser extended his hitting streak to 10 games!
