Saskatoon Berries 2025 Preview

They painted ‘Toon Town purple last summer, and the Saskatoon Berries are ready to do it all over again.

The 2024 season – the first for the Berries in the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) – was a smashing success for the expansion franchise, both on and off the field.

This off-season they’ve plucked some fresh berries from WCBL rivals and are ripe for a run at a championship …

7th Inning Stretch: Easton Brons

The goal of any good lead-off man is simple: get on base.

Easton Brons has taken the role seriously since taking the job of graduating second baseman Connor Richards at Okanagan College this season.

The Saskatoon native is the latest to be featured in our 7th Inning Stretch series.

Regina Red Sox Paying Tribute to Historic Team

Moose Jaw Miller Express 2025 Preview

They were so very close.

Not only did the Moose Jaw Miller Express push the Okotoks Dawgs to a winner-take-all Game 3 of the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) championship series, the underdog squad scored a pair of late runs to even the score entering the ninth inning of that contest.

It took the home-run heroics of hometown hero Connor Crowson in the bottom of the ninth to break the tie, deliver the Dawgs a 6-5 victory, and secure a three-peat title for Okotoks.

The Miller Express were right there, when few expected them to be.

So, what’s next for Moose Jaw?

Editorial: OK Blue Jays!

The signing of Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. to a 14-year, $500-million contract wasn’t just big for the Toronto Blue Jays.

As Joe McFarland opines, it’s huge for the game of baseball across Canada.

Pedal to the Metal

If you don’t like where you’re at, just pedal harder.

That’s what Cory Wouters and Cam Marshak did for their teams in a recent high-scoring clash between McCook Community College Indians and the Colby Community College Trojans.

Wouters – a lefty pitcher and first baseman for the Indians – and Marshak, an infielder with the Trojans, both hit the cover off the ball during an April 1st game at Young Memorial Field in Colby, Kansas, where McCook College outlasted Colby College with a wild 23-22 win after nine innings.

The Saskatchewan products achieved the rare feat of hitting for the cycle. Even more impressive was that they did it competing against each other on the same diamond.

Let’s Play Two

It was an event that baseball fans in Saskatchewan had never dreamed was possible, and it went so well that they ended up experiencing it twice.
