The South East Legacy Midget AAA Twins won two of four recent home games in the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League.

The Twins scored twice in the first inning in the second game against the Giants, but surrendered three in the third and two in the fourth to fall behind. They managed only six hits in the loss.

The Estevan Sherritt Coal Bantam AAA Haulers enjoyed a dominant weekend, sweeping double-headers against Melville and Yorkton.

Estevan defeated Melville 13-2 in five innings, and 12-7 on June 2. The following day, they knocked off Yorkton 15-2 in five innings, and 7-6.

Coach Kent Phillips said the defence and the pitching were very good against Melville. Bailey Lonsberry launched a home run into a stiff wind in Game 1. The Haulers scored eight times in the fifth inning of Game 1 to enact the mercy rule.

Kyler Phillips earned the win in Game 1. Preston Hutt was the winning pitcher in Game 2.

The Haulers had a great pitching performance from Carson Perkins in Game 1 against Yorkton. He pitched a complete game, and struck out many batters, Kent Phillips said. The Haulers capitalized on all of Yorkton's mistakes.

Yorkton's pitching was much better in Game 2, but Estevan still scored enough runs to win. Brandon Hutt was the winning pitcher.

Up next for the Haulers is the Regina Baseball tournament from June 8 to 10.
