Crazy Eights

Your Edmonton Prospects eighth game of the year was close until the eighth inning. During that eighth inning the Lethbridge Bulls (3-5) sent ten men to the plate collecting six runs en route to an 11-3 win over our Prospects (1-7).

The Bulls had built up a 5-0 lead going into the bottom of the 7th when the Prospects put together an impressive rally.  With the bases loaded starting CF Connor Battaglia would punch in LF Sean Guite to break the shutout bid.  2B Tommy Clouthier would then double scoring 3B Joey Bergandi and Battalglia to pull the Prospects within two at 5-3. 

Then that crazy eighth happened and win number two is temporarily on hold.

POT OF GOLD:

Bryn Redhead went 2 for 3 on the afternoon moving his average to .414 on the season placing him 9th overall in the league in batting average.

Greg Rodgers sits 10th overall in the league in batting average at .407.
