Welcome to the Medicine Hat Senior Ball 2026 Season Web Site


There’s a new look at Holden Field and a new home for the Quad and other equipment. Happy to say “no more engine fumes wafting up to the press box anymore”😬


Big thanks to everyone that put the effort in to plan the project and place the sea can in its new spot. Another reason why it’s the best league in the country.

August 31 - Sept 3 Scores and Hi-Lites

 
Sept 4:
     Game 1 - In a galaxy far far away the Meateors and the Astros were on a collision course for the first game of the night at LHF. The mighty Astro’s came into the game as the rulers of the universe, but the Meateors are on a hot streak of their own, who will survive. As the battle began 5 hits pushed across three runs in the first, not to be outdone six hits and four runs for the meatheads including their first out of solar system home run this year(Kelly M) In their half of the fourth Astro boys launched a fiver to lead eleven to six, but the meat crew scored four of their own to keep them in their sights. Mikes boys pushed four more across in the fifth while holding the Stros off the board. In the seventh the never say die Astros plated four more to tie it before Dave Robertsons single scored Jaime White with the winning run. Final Score 16 - 15 for Mikes. Frank Merkyl 4/4, Maury Salmon, Keith and Kelly all 3/4 for E and H. Dave Robertson 4/4, Kelly, Donny, Stubby, Jaime and Jim (launch pad) Fink were all 3/3. A great game with hitting and fielding that was out of this world. Thanks to Casino for umping and Cooking.
Game Report By Ron Stubbs

     Game 2 - A nine-run surge in the late innings helped the Morrison Mavericks  double up Juggie's Tap House by a 16 to 8 score.
John Engel led the charge with a single, a walk and two doubles while crossing home plate three times. Winning pitcher Dave Hammel had two singles and a double in three attempts. He scored all three times but the markers were hard earned as he thundered home narrowly beating the throws.
Delvin Moch had three singles and scored three times. 
For Juggie's, Mark Porter scored twice after drawing two walks. Jeff Davies also scored twice, achieving this the hard way with two singles.
The Mavs' bottom of the order, Derek Nielsen and Moose Emann, answered the call by recording two counters each. Nielsen smashed two singles in three at bats. Emann broke out of a hitting slump dating back to when he played for the Hilda Cubs in the early sixties. Hitting advice from his wife finally paid off when the Moose drove a ball toward third base that had more height than distance. Although the hit barely cleared home plate, Juggie's infield panicked and threw the ball away, allowing Emann to reach second. To prove it was no fluke he managed a legitimate single later on.

Sept 2:
     Game 1 - The Bumper to Bumper Blue Jays were able to outlast the Sauer RV Storage Lakers on a nice September evening for ball. The final score was 11-8. Each team opened the game with six hits each, but the Lakers found themselves ahead by a score of 5 to 3 after one inning. The Jays quickly responded with six hits again, but this time they were able to score four runs to take a 7 to 5 lead after two innings. The Lakers tied the game in the third inning, but once again the Jays responded with three runs to go up 10 to 7 after four innings. Each team scored one more run in the fifth inning as the defense held each team scoreless in the last two innings.
     The Lakers were lead by Pierre Cote who was 3-3 while Lorne Knodel and Kevin Sauer (2 doubles) were each 3-4. Chipping in with two hits each were Mike Stroh, Trevor Fauth, Walter Pratt, Wild Broesky and Russ Foster.
     The Jays were lead by Rob Hammel (double) and Tom Baker each going 3-3. Chad Stahl and Kevin Lane were 3-4. Andy Stroh, Kerry Buss, Tim Macinnis and Vern Herter collected two hits each as well.
A well pitched game by both Tom Baker and Wilf Broesky.
Game Report By Andy Stroh

     Game 2 - In the second game of the night the Copper Coulee gang had some opportune hitting and stellar defence defeating the Red Sox 10-4. Randy Wuerfel pitched a gem of a game only walking one, striking out two and holding the Sox to only two extra base hits (both doubles). Boyd Hamm also pitched well but gave up a few more extra base hits. Derry Eresman did most of the damage for the Sox going 3/3 with a double and 3 RBIs. Derry also made some amazing catches in center field. Boyd Hamm was 2/2 with a walk and Darrell Maser chipped in a double. The Silver Foxes were led by lead off batter Paul Savage who went 4/4 with a 2-run Homerun and a double. Clean up hitter Darren Emerson was 2/3 with a triple and 4 RBIs. Glenn Kessler, Darcy Harty and Steve Kakuk all went 3/3.

Sept 1:

Game Report By Bill Ramage

     Game 2 - The night wrapped up with the Logos Rebels hosting the Garage Pub in what started as a tight, low scoring battle. Through three and a half innings, the teams were deadlocked at 2–2.
The Rebels broke things open in the bottom of the fourth, pushing across 5 runs. The Pub answered right back with 5 of their own in the top of the fifth, keeping the pressure on. The Rebels managed 2 more in their half, and after five complete it was Rebels 9, Garage Pub 7.
The sixth inning proved to be the turning point. The Rebels held the Pub scoreless in both the sixth and seventh, while adding 5 more runs in their own half of the sixth to take full control. Final score: Logos Rebels 14, Garage Pub 7.
A big shout out to Curtis and Darlene upstairs, and to the Redi boys for handling the umpiring and burger flipping duties.
The Rebels would also like to extend a thank you to Greg Scott and Bill Lapshinoff for helping round out the roster.

July 31:
     Game 1 - Juggies TapHouse Brewers came away with a win against the mighty Stewart Optical squad tonight, final score was 16-10. The last day of August, a beautiful night at the Field of Dreams. Where did the summer go?? Anyway, Juggies came out hot, somewhat of a rarity for our team, 5 in the 1st, 4 in the 3rd and 5 more in the 6th. And, our outfield was outstanding fighting the sun. Mike Ferre and Mark Porter were the stars of the show in right and left center, making several outstanding catches off of hard hit fly balls. You could say, they saved our bacon. For the Eye Guys, Byron Witkowski, Jim Stewart, Roland Schlenker, Randy Biko and James Phillips all had 3 hits. Rob Price had a big triple in the gap that scored a couple runs as well. Juggies lineup banged out 24 hits, a really good night for us. Mark Porter, Mike Ferre (3 RBI's), Jeff Davies (3RBI's), Jamie White (5 RBI's), all had 3 hits. Dale Deis, Todd Toews, Tim Mayer and Jim Dulle all chipped in a pair. Jim got the win, Rob Price suffered the loss. The Lakers had all hands on deck tonight, they are a well-oiled machine when it comes time for their work duties. Thanks to Tim and Darlene in the Buck Martinez press box. GO JAYS!!!       
Oh ya, Royce Hopkins (A) was our super sub tonight, after Dale Wood went down in a heap running to 1st base in the 2nd inning. Thanks Royce for stepping in.
Game Report By Jamie White

     Game 2 - The Morrison Mavericks rode two late five-run innings to a 17 - 10 win over the Redi Recyclers. The Mavericks' rallies were powered by Jeff Hall's home run in the fifth inning and then back-to-back homers by John Egel and Dave Hammel in the sixth. Hall was perfect at the plate, hitting a double and a single in addition to his home run. Hammel had three singles to go with his homer and scored four times. Engel doubled, tripled, and homered, driving in four runs and scoring three times.  
Redi's lead off hitter Royce Hopkins had three singles with two RBIs and scored twice. Jim Larson took the loss on the mound. 
Winning pitcher Dan Hamilton held Redi off the scoreboard over four consecutive innings allowing the Mavs to take the lead.
