Sunday Night Baseball

The string of playing teams tied for first place in their respective divisions continues tonight at Telus Field for your Edmonton Prospects.  The Swift Current Indians provide the competition for our Prospects on Monday as well. Both games start at 7:05PM.

Previously this season, the Prospects defeated the Indians 7-4.

Tonight's Prospects Starting Pitcher is Stinson Ott (1-2 4.56 ERA).  Ott's victory was against these very same Swift Current Indians.  The pitching story of the win versus the Indians though was our bullpen!  Tanner Knutson and Brandon Compton combined for 4 and 2/3 innings of 1 hit baseball.

6 different Prospects earned RBI in the victory versus Swift Current.  CF Grant Glasser led the way with 2 RBI.  Glasser and C Jamie Mitchell both went 3 for 5 at the plate.

Bring the written "essay" down to Telus Field tonight (gates open at 6, game starts at 7) and your 6 to 14 year old will be given free admission to the game when they turn in their homework.  What better way to bond with your child than at a baseball game that he/she earned their seat!!
