The Yorkton Yankees made a statement in their SESBL matchup at Jubilee Park on a calm May evening putting a beating on the Melville Bison. The Yankees took opportunity of every single inning of a 22-1 beating that stretched into the late hours of Wednesday night, using full advantage of the Jubilee Park field lights.
The shorthanded Bison, which only fielded the minimum nine players had trouble getting any of the Yankees out, stretching the game out to the two and a half hour mark for the full seven inning contest. Credit goes to the Yankees for not letting up and keeping their bats rolling in a game where it was very difficult to keep focus as the game was pretty much over before it started.
Yankees manager Mark Jacobs also noted that the scoreline made keeping focus difficult he says, "The score was 22-1, and it is tough to get into a game like that, but we hit the ball and made plays." Jacobs also mentioned that the Bison are typically a much better team than they showed Wednesday and that the rest of the season's games won't come as easily as the huge scoreline would suggest.
The Yankees will look to continue their winning ways on Tuesday, May 22 when they host Willowbrook for a contest against the Royals.
