The host Regina Trappers improved their record to 3 and 0 after a pair of victories on Friday.
The Saskatchewan-based club rolled past Alberta 10–4 before staging a late rally to beat Manitoba 6–4 in extra innings.
In the early game, Geordie McDougall’s sixth-inning grand slam powered Saskatchewan in the opener while Brody Vogel added a solo homer and starter Thomas Lessmeister and reliever Takao Cookson combined to hold Alberta in check.
In the nightcap, Saskatchewan erased a 4–0 hole, tying the game in the sixth before Vogel’s two-run homer in the eighth sealed the comeback. Gavin Wuschke worked seven innings, giving up just one earned run, and Kody Rock struck out three to close out the win.
With their three straight wins, the hosts have clinched top spot in pool B and have earned a bye into Sunday’s semi-finals.
The Trappers wrap up pool play Saturday at Noon at Currie Field against Ontario.
