Hundreds of school students from Yorkton, Sturgis, Saltcoats, Canora and Churchbridge took in Western Major Baseball League action Wednesday at Pioneer Park.
They watched a game pitting Highway 10 rivals Melville and Yorkton in action, with the visiting Millionaires scoring one in the first, another in the second, and two more in the third to lead 4-0.
The host Cardinals scored one in the home half of the third, only to have Melville get that run back in the fourth.
In the sixth Melville added one to make it 6-1, before four by Yorkton in the bottom of the fourth made it close at 6-5.
But the Mills reasserted a solid lead with three in the seventh and one in the eight before the Cardinals got one in the ninth to round out a 10-6 win for Melville.
Lyle Hibbits recorded the win on the mound for Melville, with Noah Freimuth earning the save.
Jake Gill was tagged with the loss for the Cardinals.
Marshall McPherson and Keaton Sullivan hit homers for Melville, while Thirus Jones hit a round tripper and recorded three runs batted in for Yorkton. Chris Cook also hit a solo shot for the home team.
Yorkton sits winless in four games to start the season, while Melville is 3-1.
