After three days off due to a pair of rained out games, the Regina Red Sox were back in action Monday night to face the Saskatoon Yellow Jackets.

Red Sox catcher Chris Untereiner hit an RBI single to right-centre field that scored Eric Baker in the bottom of the first to give the home team the early 1-0 lead.

From there though, the pitchers stole the show. William Shell pitched seven innings for the Red Sox and struck out seven, while Yellow Jackets’ pitcher Matt Cook struck out eight in eight innings.

Yellow Jackets’ center fielder Zach Burling eventually got the visitors on the board in the top of the eight to even the score, 1-1. The Red Sox retook the lead in the bottom half of the inning when a Yellow Jackets’ error allowed Untereiner to round third and head home. Continue reading →

When the third inning concluded in Thursday night’s matchup between the Regina Red Sox and the Weyburn Beavers, fans at Currie Field were ready to pack their bags and head on home.

The Red Sox were down by six runs heading into the fourth, and continued to trail the Beavers throughout the game until the last two innings. The Red and White were down 10-6, but scored three runs in the eighth and one in the ninth, which allowed them to comeback and send the ball game into extra innings tied, 10-10.

Six Red Sox pitchers took the mound against the Beavers, but it was shortstop Chase Benfield that stole the show late-game as the seventh pitcher. The Red Sox senior started his new position in the top of the tenth and pitched three innings, allowed three hits, and struck out two. Continue reading →

Sunday’s matinee between the Regina Red Sox and the Yorkton Cardinals featured merely everything baseball fans could ever want in a game. From numerous double plays, to stolen bases, to a solo home run, the two East division rivals picked up right where they left off when they met for the first time earlier this month.

Pier-Olivier Dostaler smacked a solo shot over the left field wall at his first at bat to give the Red Sox the early lead in the bottom of the first. The following four innings went scoreless until Michael Meany’s line drive scored Justin Burgess for the visitors. Red Sox first baseman Bronson Gillam eventually broke the 1-1 tie in the bottom of the ninth courtesy of Tyler Wheeler’s single and a Cardinals’ error. Continue reading →

In the bottom of the fifth, Travis Tessandori scored for the Red Sox to cut the Beavers’ lead in half, and Cody Maas tied the game up for the home team an inning later. Continue reading →
