Game two on Sunday was a nail biter between the Heat and Dawson Creek.
Down by four going into the bottom of the seventh, the Heat mounted a comeback tying the game and forcing extra innings. With the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the eighth, Zachery Gill hit a single over third base to drive in the winning run, giving the Heat a 18-17 win. Key hits and plays were shared by Gavin Hannah, Dalton Vandernest and Jordan Tonsi. Gill, Campbell and Stasow shared the pitching duties for the win. The Heat’s third win came by means of a forfeit when Horse Lake had to cancel their scheduled game.
The 5-3 Heat now await the results of the other teams across the province to determine where they will be tiered. At press time, the Heat sit in fourth place out of 14 teams across the province. The Provincial Championships will be held July 25/26.
