It was a hectic week for the Southeast Legacy Twins, as the midget AAA baseball club played five games and had another postponed.
After going 2-3 in last week's games, the Twins remain slightly under .500, with a record of 11-13. That puts them in sixth place in the nine-team Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League.
The Twins wrapped up the week with a doubleheader in Moose Jaw against the Devons (11-18). They won the first game 6-1 but lost a tight 13-12 decision in the second one.
On Saturday, the Twins hosted the last-place Saskatoon Cubs (5-24) for a scheduled doubleheader at Lynn Prime Park, but after a 4-2 Twins victory in the opener, the second game was postponed due to the storm that swept southeast Saskatchewan that afternoon.
Earlier in the week, the Twins lost 2-1 to the Regina Wolfpack in the provincial capital on Thursday, and fell 3-2 to the Regina Athletics at home on July 9.
In Sunday's 6-1 win over the Devons, the Twins plated three runs in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth en route to the blowout win.
After surrendering one run in the first inning on a fielder's choice by Dylan Pisio, the Twins got three of their own when Jolan Lingelbach, Garret Fitzpatrick and John Gaab all scored on errors in the fourth.
One inning later, errors were again the benefactor, as the Twins added two more runs to their lead.
Fitzpatrick singled in Lingelbach for another run in the seventh inning.
Lucas Lafrentz was the Twins' top batter, hitting 3-for-4 with a run scored, while Fitzpatrick went 2-for-4 with a run batted in and a run scored.
Austin Orsted threw a complete game two-hitter for the Twins, striking out five batters and walking one.
The second game of the doubleheader needed two extra innings to decide. With the score tied 12-12 in the bottom of the ninth, Fitzpatrick issued a walk and then hit two batters, setting the stage for Pisio to drive in the winning run on a single.
Both teams piled up runs early and often, racking up a game-high four apiece in the second inning.
Orsted batted 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs, and Lingelbach hit 2-for-5 with two RBI. Jonathon MacFarlane (two) and Logan Hertes (two) also drove in runs for the Twins.
Moose Jaw's top hitter was Kagan Meier, who hit 2-for-5 with four RBI.
On the mound, it was a rough start for Gaab, who allowed eight runs (all earned) on nine hits, one strikeout and one walk in four innings of work for the Twins. Colton Gingras threw three innings in relief, surrendering four runs, four hits and four walks, along with two strikeouts.
Fitzpatrick finished the game for the Twins, allowing the one run and one hit, along with a walk, in an inning and two-thirds.
Four pitchers saw action for the Devons, with Jordan McInnis earning the win after throwing two innings of one-hit, shutout ball to close out the game.
Against the Cubs on Saturday, the Twins quietly built an early lead, plating all four runs in the first three innings.
Lingelbach hit a double in the first inning to bring home Lafrentz and get the Twins on the board. In the second, MacFarlane cashed in Jimmy Giroux on a sac fly and Ketter Hoium came home on a wild pitch.
In the third, Saskatoon's Drew Gabruch scored Dalton Wells on a single, but Gaab came home on an error in the bottom of the inning to extend the Twins' lead to 4-1.
The Cubs closed out the scoring in the sixth inning, with Nick Anderson hitting a single to score Jordan Ehman.
Twins starter Brandon Hutt was one out away from a complete game, scattering five hits while allowing two runs, two walks and striking out six. Gingras came in to get the final out, allowing one hit first.
On Thursday against the Wolfpack, the Twins scored their lone run in the first inning and couldn't get much going after that. The run came when Fitzpatrick got on base with a single to drive in Lafrentz.
Regina tied the game in the second inning when Tyson Blaschke scored on a single by Jordon Dezotell.
The Wolfpack then took the lead for good in the fifth, when Tanner Ring hit a single with the bases loaded to drive in Jeremy Sylvester.
Fitzpatrick accounted for two of the Twins' four hits on the day, batting 2-for-3 with an RBI. Carson Bogdan starred for the Wolfpack with a 3-for-3 day.
Wolfpack starter Tanner Ring threw a complete game, allowing one run on four hits, three walks and two strikeouts.
Gaab went four innings for the Twins, allowing two runs on four hits, a strikeout and a walk. Hutt came in to take care of the last two innings, shutting out the Wolfpack while surrendering three hits on a walk and a strikeout.
The Twins are slated to visit the Regina Mets tonight. They will be busy at home this weekend, hosting the Saskatoon Diamondbacks for a doubleheader on Saturday (1 and 3 p.m.), and the Saskatoon Giants for another one on Sunday (2 and 4 p.m.).
