It was a good day on the diamond for the Parkland U15 Expos, although early in it didn’t look good for the local team.
The Expos hosted the Regina Athletics in a doubleheader, with the visitors holding a big 9-4 lead going into the final at-bat for the locals at Jubilee Park in the city, in spite of a home run by Expo Xage Miraflor from Sturgis, his second in as many weekends.
But in the home half of the final inning the proverbial worm turned in favour of the Expos. A few walks, a couple of timely hits and Yorkton crawled back to win 10-9.
“The guys showed more patience than anything at bat,” said Expo coach Larry Kitchen.
Logan Wolkowski started on the mound in the game for Yorkton going four innings before giving way to Liam Baron who earned the win.
In the second half of the doubleheader there was no need for a big comeback as the Expos rolled to a 15-5 win.
Parker Lowenberg went three innings as the starter, with Chaez Jaeb finishing off the game on the mound for the Expos.
The Expos are now three-and-one on the summer, after back-to-back home stand doubleheaders.
