Welcome to the Medicine Hat Senior Ball 2026 Season Web Site


May 5 - League Notice of Rule Changes:
Based on recommendations, the Rules Committee the Executive made the following changes for the upcoming year:

1) No substitute runner from home plate,
      (Exceptions only by approval from the league executive)

2) No infield fly rule,
      (We are hoping no infielders abuse this rule)

3) No one can hit, sub or run if they have a substitute player in their place
 (If you have a substitute player in your place you can not go in to hit, run or field

4) Substitutions must follow the A, B, C player format that was used last year. 
        Record substitutions upstairs and report them to Rob Kayfish
       (Failure to follow this format will result in no longer being able to pick up an “A” player

May 3 - Website Notices:
     With the season beginning, a couple of website updates:
  • The player sub list is posted at the right side of the web page, along with a team usage page. As players are used as a sub a line will be put through their name. An " X " will indicate that the player has subbed his 2 times.
  • The team section at the bottom of the page now has clickable links to their respected team pages. The pages are now populated with player names and also Team coaches and Reps.
April 27 - League Notice:
  • Morning practice will begin on Monday May 4 at 9:30am.
March 30 - League/Website Notes:

Couple of Website Notes as we near the beginning of the season:
  • All 2025 season information can be found under the "Past Seasons" tab above and clicking on the "2025" Link. I will start to update the right side panel to 2026 information, but thought I would leave for a bit so new players can view.
  • I found another memory card with photos from the Sept scramble, so there are now 4 game play photo sections to view.
June 22:
     A league History Link is now available in the above tabs to an article written by Rod Sommerfeld.
This is an outstanding article that takes the reader back to the very beginning of the league.  You can also use the link below to access the page.

May 25 - May 28 Scores and Hi-Lites

 
May 25:
     Game 1 - On the warmest night of the year, Elmer & Harold’s Astros edged the Station Coffee Longshots by a 5 - 2 score. Astros pitcher Kelly Lutz and Longshots pitcher Trent Rasch were both sharp, each giving up 11 hits on the night. For the Astros, Wade Watson, playing in his first game of the year, went 2/2 with 2 rbi’s and 2 great catches in the field. Astros sub Mike Ferre was 2/2 with a triple and a double and 2 rbi’s and Kelly Lutz was 2/3 with 2 rbi’s. Keith Lutz was sharp at shortstop all night. For the Longshots, Cal Mayer and Greg Scott were 3/3 and John McFee was 2/2. Al Martens made several great catches in the field with sun in his eyes. Despite the win, Astros players were sad because their beer guy got the game night wrong and did not show up.

     Game 2 - The first game of the evening was a close defensive struggle but the second game between Juggies and Stewart Optical was definitely not a clinic on defence. The two teams combined for 50 hits and 30 runs as the Eye Guys pulled off an 18-12 victory. Stewart Optical kept their win one lose one streak alive led by the bats of Rob Price, Roland Schlenker and Jim Stewart who all went 4 for 4 including a long ball from Jim.  Daryl Hubick added three hits and six other batters contributed with a pair of hits. 
For Juggies, Todd Toews picked up four hits while Mark Porter, Jeff Davies and Jamie White all added three hits. The game was close until the Eye Guys picked up five in the fifth and sixth innings. 
Probably the nicest night of the season so far for a bunch of guys to get out and play a game we all enjoy.

     Game 3 - On arguably the nicest evening of the season, game 3 of this night featured the Red Sox against the 2026 Bad News Bears errrrrr Sauer RV Storage Lakers. The Lakers were bringing their less than impressive 2 and 4 record into the hottest night of the year against a team that can definitely put up some runs. The Sox jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the top of the first on a couple of singles and a pair of doubles. The Lakers responded quickly with 5 of their own in the bottom of one, large in part because home plate seemed to be the size of a pie plate for the Sox starting pitcher. For the next couple of innings, the Red Sox were kept at bay while the Lakers added a couple more on the board. 8-3 after 3. The Sox then put up a couple in part to a Stark dinger that just got into the first row of seats in right field. The Lakers, who were in snooze mode for a couple of innings then plated 5 in the 5th and 4  more in the 6th to take a commanding 17-7 lead going into the last and open inning. Was it safe? Well let's talk about the Lakers first 6 games of the season. In every contest they were up going into the last inning and in 4 of those they proverbially "pooped their pants" and turned victory into a big fat "L". Senior Slow Pitch you say? Yea but even the 6 or 7 figure studs on TV do the same so we can't feel bad. Plus, we have a lot more fun and our beer is colder. Anyway, back to the top of the 7th.  Red Sox send 9 men to the plate, score 3 runs and leave the bases loaded to put a mini scare once again into the Storage Squad. Final score: Lakers17 Red Sox 10. Besides the Red Sox 3rd baseman who had hit the home run he also contributed 2 doubles. Left fielder Tim Pruden who is in his rookie season had 2 hits and made a catch in  the 6th that will be on TSN highlites later this week. Glen Ebel and Leadoff Lance Knodel also had 3 hits each with Speedy Gonzales Knodel hitting an inside the park homer. For the Lakers, Trevor Fauth, Mike Stroh and Pierre Cote collected 3 hits each to help preserve the Lakers 3rd win. Once again, thanks to all the volunteers for working the evening to help make this the greatest league  anyone could be part of.
