The Yorkton E and S Yankees travelled to Canora for a game with the Supers last Thursday.
The game saw returning veterans Roby Sharp and Jason Trost in the Yankees line-up. It was also a homecoming of sorts for Jeff Bahrey and Tom Cook, both former Supers, who now dress for the Yankees.
Bahrey and Cook formed the Yankee battery in the first four innings.
The Supers scored one run in the second inning but the Yankees tied the game in the top of the fourth when Jeremy Johnson was driven home on an Evan Wasylyniuk double.
The Yankees didn't fare as well in the bottom of the fourth allowing Canora to score four runs and take the lead five to one.
Starting pitcher Tom Cook would leave the mound after earning two strike-outs while giving up six walks and only two hits in his four innings of work.
Jeremy Johnson pitched the final two innings, striking out three while giving up only one walk and no hits.
The Yankees rallied a valiant come back in the sixth and seventh innings scoring once in the sixth and twice in the seventh. However they fell short by one run as Canora took the game five to four.
Yankee runs were scored by Tom Cook with two and Jeff Bahrey and Jeremy Johnson with one each.
Johnson had one RBI and two hits while Cook and Roby Sharp had one RBI and one hit each. Completing the Yankees hits were Jason Trost and Jeff Bahrey with one single each.
The Yorkton E and S Yankees travelled to Swan River to meet the Swan River Reds for a Sunday afternoon double-header.
