Yorkton was the host of their rivals from down the road, as the Melville Millionaires came to town to challenge the Cardinals.
The first run of the evening was in the first inning, with Melville’s Evan Moore coming home off of a hit from Ryan Moormeyer.
The bats were quiet until the bottom of the sixth, when Yorkton put two notches on the board. The first came from Shawn Munro, going home after a wild pitch. The second saw Logan MacDougall making it home after a base hit from Luke Shekeryk.
Melville responded in the next inning, scoring three. It began with an unearned run from Jake Green, followed by an unearned run from Luke Summers and another from Marquis Irving.
The next inning saw another three runs, all from the at bat of Ryan Moormeyer. Evan Moore, Braeden Dobbs and Mike Ozga came home during the same play.
The final inning saw the final run of the game, again for Melville, with Tracy Warren going home thanks to a wild pitch.
The final score was 8-2 for Melville.
Next action for the Cardinals is tonight, Friday June 28, as they travel to Moose Jaw to meet the Miller Express, the start of a long road trip for the Yorkton squad. They are next in town July 6 at 1:05, when they will try to get revenge on the Millionaires.
