 Team Alberta loses a Heartbreaker

Team BC              2                              Team Alberta     1

Brad Michaeleski pitched an absolute gem in a 2 – 1 loss against BC. Michaeleski struck out four BC batters and walked three but kept the potent BC bats off balance throughout the game and was named the MVP for Alberta. The game was scoreless until the 4^th when Kym Barthel stroked a single and Chayse Marion followed up with a double to score Barthel. Marcus Fergusson followed up with an absolute seed to centerfield but the BC centerfielder made an excellent defensive play. Ryan Aiken made the third out with another line drive to left/center but again the ball was caught to end the threat. In the bottom of the fourth BC loaded the bases with nobody out and scored one run on chopper to 3^rd but were unable to capitalize any further. BC scored the winning run in the bottom of the 7^th with two out. Alberta was held to two hit with Marion and Barthel collecting the only hits and Marion the lone rbi.

Team Alberta will now play for the bronze against Team Ontario.
