NORTH BATTLEFORD — The North Battleford Beavers were a high-performance team during regular season of the North Saskatchewan River Baseball League, losing only two games, both to the top seed Unity Cardinals.
After cruising through the quarter-finals in a two-game sweep of Glaslyn Orioles, the Beavers had their work cut out for them in the league semifinal.
Facing Standard Hill Lakers in game one on July 17, an extra-inning loss puts the Battlefords senior baseball team down a game in a best-of-three series.
The Beavers remain optimistic in their quest to retain the NSRBL title. Game two takes place in Standard Hill July 22, according to the schedule on the league’s website, and if a third game is needed, it will take place July 25 at Beaver Lions Stadium.
Unity Cardinals and Lashburn Cardinals are playing off in the other semi-final series for a chance to advance to the NSRBL championship final.
