July 24:
     Game 1 - 38 Degrees + at game time at LHF had a similar mirror evening as the Medicine Hat Stampede and Exhibition, where people from Medicine Hat and surrounding area came to watch trained professionals entertain the crowd. The game between the Sauer RV Storage Lakers and the Cross Town  Red Sox's showed that they to can entertain the crowd, not as trained professionals but with 45 plus years of all kinds of Jack in the box plays and bloopers. Others may blame it on missed opportunities but I blame it on the heat. The Sauer RV Storage Lakers defeated the Cross Town Red Sox’s by a score of 18-11 on the diamond and in the heat, in which the game was a lot closer than the score dictated.
Highlights for the Cross Town Red Sox’s was, Tom easy does it Reiger going 3/3 with 3 RBI’s, while Speedy Lorne Knodel, Derry all in Eresman and Harv sneaky Buye went 2-3 with a total of 3 RBI’s.
Todd Kopek was also busier than a 8 armed Cross Town Red Sox's octopus at SS, who made a great diving catch to end the 3rd inning.
Highlights for the Lakers was Clint, Jack in the box Kleckner, Gord still signing autographs Moore and Multi Purpose Brian To Tall Christman all going 2-3 for a total of 6 runs.
We were all glad we got the game in on this Hot and Muggy night in front of fans who were in the shade cheering for a Cool Breeze, Ice Cream and a cool something.
 Thanks again to the umps. over heated cooks and the scorekeepers for their efforts on this Hot, Sunny, Muggy evening where the young and old continue playing on the field of dreams.

     Game 3 - Elmer & Harold’s Astros managed a close 14 - 12 win over the Stewart Optical in the third game of the night. The key hit of the night was a “cannonading drive” (remember Danny Gallivan) off the bat of Astro substitute Norm Emann that went for a double and drove in 2 runs in the 5 run third inning. Keith Lutz hit a 3 run home run, Kelly Lutz was 3/3 with an RBI and the second Astro substitute Dave Sawatsky was 2/2 with 2 RBI’s. For the Eye Guys, John Engel was 2/3 including a 3 run home run and Dan Rattai was 2/2 with a triple and a double. Despite the score, there were some excellent defensive plays made by both teams.

     Game 3 - In the last game of the night in slightly cooler temps, only 33 degrees instead of 39, the Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes took on the Redi Recyclers and came away with a 10-1 win. The Foxes once again played stellar defense, more shutdown pitching and a balanced attack. The Foxes jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first and never looked back. For the Recyclers it seemed everything they hit found a glove. Highlights for the Foxes were Wade Watson 3-3/singles /Randy Wuerfel 3-3/singles /Darren Emerson 2-3/3rbi inside park homerun/ Glen Stololka/Robert Jensen/Boyd Kosolofski/Jake Thomas/ were all 2-3/singles.

July 22:
     Game 1 - On a hot and muggy day at the Loren Holden Field of Dreams, the Sauer RV Storage Lakers and Stewart  Optical squared off - 1/1 after 2 innings. What a boring game so far!! I felt sorry for the third base coaches. Not much work there but they didn’t have to stay in the field long. We had a combined 28 hits for both teams. The only triple I saw was 3 bi-planes flying over from the air show. The Lakers upped the score in the 3rd with a deuce but the eye guys  followed up with a five spot. An interesting finish to the game with the score knotted at 8 with Stewy's boys batting and runners on first and third with two out when Todd managed to score on a very close play at home. There were some great defense which kept the score down and brought an exciting finish! 🥎🥎🥎🥎 Final score 👁  guys 9 / 🐳 Lakers 8. Thanks to Darlene, Stan for the great job score keeping and announcing and Larry and Dan for the 5 ⭐️ umping and Derry and the burger boys 🍔

     Game 2 - In the middle game the Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes took on Mikes Meat Meateors and came away with a very hard fought 4-2 win. It was a real pitchers duel once again with both teams playing great defense and the Silver Foxes getting a couple more timely hits to sneak out the victory. Highlights for the Foxes were Wade Watson /2-3/double /Jake Thomas 2-3/singles. For the Meateors Don Halberg 3-3/singles Jim Fink 2-3/singles /Ron Stubbs 2-3/singles and Tim Johnson 1-3/triple. Winning pitcher Doug Roberts while Jim Fink took the loss.
Game Report By Randy Wuerfel

     Game 3 - A stalwart defense led the Garage Pub to a low scoring 7 - 3 win over the Morrison Mavericks. The Mavs grabbed the early lead with three runs in the second inning, but were held off the scoreboard for the rest of the game. A pair of double plays, including one to end the game, were instrumental in the victory by the Pub. The battery of Rob Price to Fred Bohnet proved to be extremely effective. Bohnet also collected a hit and scored a run.
