The AA Midget Parkland Expos thrashed the Regina White Sox in back-to-back games on Wednesday, building momentum as they wind through the tail end of their season.

The Expos battled the Sox on Jul. 11 in Yorkton, playing games at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. The Expos set the tone in the first game, scoring 16 runs by the second inning.

The Expos were hungry to avenge their loss to the White Sox earlier in the season. They fell to Regina 13-2 in June.

鈥淭he guys were motivated to come out strong,鈥 said Expos coach Mark Jacobs. 鈥淭hey fed off each other.鈥

The Expos mauled the Sox in the first game of the evening, nabbing a dominant 23-3 victory over the visiting team.

The second game on Wednesday was a much closer affair. Both teams scored four runs apiece in the first inning. The Expos pulled ahead by snagging runs in nearly every inning and by shutting down the Sox鈥檚 efforts to get on the board.

Regina fought back by scoring five runs in the fifth, but it wasn鈥檛 enough. The Expos sent the visitors home with another loss, winning the game 15-10.

鈥淲e played pretty well defensively,鈥 Jacobs said.

The Expos have notched 11 wins, seven losses, and one tie so far this season. They鈥檝e rebounded after a shakey start in May. Jacobs is pleased with his team鈥檚 improvements.

鈥淲e had a rough patch at the start of the year,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e turned it around.鈥

The Parkland Expos鈥 next game will be against the Regina Pacers in Melville on Jul. 16.
