A doubleheader against the Swift Current 57s has given the Southeast Performance Pump Twins their second and third victories in the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League season.
The midget AAA league’s doubleheader, in which the Twins won both games 9-7, was played at Weyburn Sunday, which is the Twins’ other home field this year.
In the first game, the Twins used a big bottom of the seventh inning to claim the win. They were down 7-1 going into the inning before the comeback. With none out and two on in the inning, Jose Reyes doubled in Aiden Krafchuk and Thomas Husband. Then Ty Nikolejsin singled in Reyes and after a Jayke Smolinski walk, Dahlyn Klassen singled.
Alex Kerr walked with the bases loaded to make the score 7-5, and then Hudson Neuberger’s blast knocked in the rest of the necessary runs.
Soon after that game, the teams played again but the Twins didn’t need to wait till the seventh inning, gabbing seven runs in the fourth. Burke Lyons got the big hit of that game with a grand slam.
In the second game, Nikolejsin pitched six innings, fanning eight and walking three while giving up six hits and four earned runs.
The Twins’ next action is this weekend, when they play a doubleheader at the Saskatoon Diamondbacks and then at the Northwest Pirates.
