The Estevan Tower Wolves needed a gargantuan effort in the sixth inning to grind out their first victory of the season on Sunday.
The Wolves (1-3) scored nine runs in the sixth inning to rally and beat the Oxbow Chiefs 12-10 in Oxbow.
The game was made up from a June 9 rainout.
"The guys were starting to get a little bit frustrated (with the slow start) and to come back the way we did, it really showed. Oxbow is a good challenge for us, but we found a way to come back and get that win," said Wolves pitcher Layne Wolos.
Derek Wilhelm threw a complete game for Estevan and Marcus Friess led the club at the plate with three runs batted in.
"Dylan Smith made a game-saving diving catch in the fifth that saved probably three runs from scoring. Everybody was in on the bats. It was really good. The team was really pumped to get our first win," said Wolos.
"It looked like it finally came together. The defence did well and saved us a few times. The offence kicked into gear and finally started showing signs of what we can do."
Sunday's win was a stark reversal from Thursday's road game, where the Wolves lost 12-3 to the Carnduff Astros.
The team will stay on the road this week. They were set to visit the Kenosee Cubs last night and will travel to Arcola to face the Threshers on Thursday.
