The Cubs bats came alive on Monday, compiling 11 hits off Riggers' ace Josh Edwards, then adding 7 more off Red Deer's relief arms. Blake Davis and Cory Scammell lead the offence for Edmonton, putting together 4-4 and 3-4 days respectively. Jarvis Greiner was solid on the mound in his second start of the season for Edmonton, and 4 Riggers each had a hit a piece: Love-Hollman, Louis, Claerhout and Wagar. 

 

June 22: Cubs (4) @ Riggers (1)

 

With the game all square in the fifth, Dan Chappel hammered a huge 2 RBI double for his Cubbies that ended up being the difference in the contest at Great Chief Park. Red Deer sent out 2 young arms against Edmonton, and both were up to the challenge. PBA products Rees DeRuyter and Brett Porter were solid throughout the day for the Riggers, keeping the Cubs bats tame for a good part of the evening. Tony Olson (Edmonton) went the distance while supporting his efforts with a homerun.

 

June 25: Athletics (4) @ Tigers (2)

 

A repeat of Monday, the A's managed to put away the Tigers with a 4-2 victory on Friday night.

Kern Watts smashed his first homerun of the year, and Cole Jackson was clutch late with a game winning RBI.
