It was a tie and a win for the Yorkton E&S Yankees in the past week. The team’s record is now 4-2-1.
The first game on Jun. 5 was a tie against the Langenburg Legends. Mark Jacobs with the Yorkton Yankees said a close match between the two teams was what you would expect, since they’re two of the best teams in the league and they’re likely to be the two teams facing each other in the final.
The second game on Jun. 11 was a bit more lopsided, with the Yankees taking down the Back Forty Brewers 19-6. Jacobs said it was a great night for baseball. They got an early lead in the game and ran with it.
While the Yankees won by a sizeable amount, Jacobs wants to note that the Brewers are a good young team with some talented athletes, though they need to work a bit on their pitching. The Yankees also threw their best pitcher at them early in the game, which didn’t help their chances.
Overall the past week was a good one for the Yankees, as they played good defense and had good swings on the ball.Â
