With only two weeks left in the regular season, it’s becoming harder to tell who exactly will come out on top in all four divisions in the North Saskatchewan River Baseball League.
That’s especially true in the Albers Division, as the North Battleford Beavers hold a scant half-game lead over the Meadow Lake Sox.
The Beavers, who have a 5-5-1 record, have lost their last three games with their most recent setback coming at Beaver Lions Stadium Sunday night by a score of 8-2 to the Macklin Lakers.
The Sox picked up a key win Sunday as they shutout the Edam Blue Sox 7-0, but they lost the second half of their doubleheader to the Macklin Lakers in a 9-6 affair to find themselves at 6-7 for the campaign.
The Battlefords Trappers are in third place in the division with a 3-7 mark.
The hottest team in the league is the Unity Cardinals, who had won their last six games heading into a road game Monday with the Wilkie Brewers.
Thanks to their success, the Cardinals have a 9-2 record and are two games up on the 7-4 Macklin Lakers in the Colliar Division.
The Brewers, who are the defending NSRBL champions, are in third.
The league’s best record belongs to the 9-1 Border City Blue Jays of Lloydminster, who lead the Smithson Division by two and a half games over the Lloydminster Twins.
The other team in that division, the Midwest Expos, are still searching for their first win of the season as they have a 0-10 record.
Another close race is taking place in the Smith Division, as the 6-3-1 Standard Hill Lakers hold a game and a half lead over the 6-6 Mervin Flyers.
The 4-6 St. Walburg Reds and the 1-8-1 Edam Blue Sox are in third and fourth respectively in the division.
In addition to the Cardinals and Brewers game in Wilkie tonight, the Border City Blue Jays will visit the Midwest Expos and the Mervin Flyers will take on the Standard Hill Lakers.
The Brewers will host the North Battleford Beavers Tuesday evening, while the Edam Blue Sox will visit the Lloydminster Twins and the Standard Hill Lakers will go up agains the St. Walburg Reds.Â
