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.

A press conference in January of 1989 was held at Regina’s Sheraton Centre to announce that the Toronto Blue Jays were coming to play an exhibition game at Taylor Field – home of the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders – in May.

From Saskatchewan to the All-American League

They came from across the globe to play the game they loved.

Rocket Men

It started as a simple trip to the United States in search of a solid roster for baseball tournaments in Saskatchewan.

Little did Indian Head mayor Jim Robison and his contingent know, who they recruited would forever change the landscape of baseball in his province and inspire future generations of ballplayers.

10 Movies We Like

Hollywood will soon celebrate another edition of the Academy Awards in Los Angeles, and hand out Oscars to the most critically acclaimed movies of the year.

We’re also big film lovers, but we have a certain type. We like baseball movies, or at the very least ones that have memorable baseball scenes in them. We also give bonus points to movies that have some kind of connections to Alberta and Saskatchewan.

1 Thru 9: Willis Simair

The excitement in Willis Simair’s voice is palpable.

After a busy 2024 which included representing his province at the Baseball Canada Cup and then heading to sunny California for the Prep Baseball West Coast Games, you would think he would be ready for a break.

Instead, the 17-year-old committed to Garden City Community College.

Johnnie Be Good

Her nickname was the “Iron Lady.”

And she will soon be inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
