There were plenty of ups and downs in the Beavers’ recent three-game playoff series, but the Cardinals came out on top.
The first game in Unity saw the Cardinals smoke the Beavers 10-1, thanks in part to strong hitting from the Cardinals and Rhett Feser’s pitching. Feser continued his solid play from the season, in which he won four games, lost one, earned 52 strikeouts, a 1.94 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP.
The Beavers bounced back in the series’ second game at Beaver Lions Stadium, scoring five runs in the first to win 10-5. Errors and walks hurt the Cardinals before Unity earned walks late in the game to try to muster a comeback. Wind was a factor during the game but mellowed as evening arrived. Kyle Palmer allowed three runs over six innings.
In what some ways felt like a repeat of Wednesday's game, in Unity and with Feser starting again, Monday's game saw the Cardinals came away with a 5-2 victory.
The Beavers will play provincials in Standard Hill from Aug. 11-13.
