Regina saves season with 6-run ninth inning to topple Gulls in Sylvan Lake

Ty Yukumoto of the Sylvan Lake Gulls celebrates after hitting a 2-run home run in Game 2 of the WCBL finals Friday night The Regina Red Sox roared late in Sylvan Lake Friday night, scoring six times with two outs in the ninth inning to complete a 10-7 comeback win over the Sylvan Lake Gulls. The stunning comeback tied the best-of-three Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) championship series at a game apiece. Game 3 is Saturday night in Sylvan Lake. Friday, it looked as if the Gulls were cruising towards their first WCBL title. They built leads of 5-1 and 6-4 and only needed three outs. Regina got two on in the ninth, but closer Mickey McClaskey struck out Red Sox slugger Ian Montz, who had already hit two home runs on the night. McClaskey's wild pitch moved the runners to second and third, but he struck out Riley Bender, putting the Gulls on the precipice of a championship. With 1,925 fans preparing to celebrate, McClaskey got two strikes on third baseman Justin Simard, only to have him drive home both runners to tie it up at 6-6. Then it started to rain. Outfielder Jordan Tucker walked and another McClaskey wild pitch moved the runners up. They both scored on a single by Rafael Jackson to make it 8-6, and then second baseman Zayd Brannigan homered to make it 10-6. The Gulls loaded the bases in their half of the ninth but could only plate one more run. McClaskey took the loss on three hits, six runs and two wild pitches. Nicolas Yard got the win for the Red Sox and Vittorio Iacobucci the save. Thursday night, Sylvan Lake won 3-2 in 11 innings on a double steal of second base and home plate. Sylvan Lake gets another chance to celebrate Saturday. First pitch in the deciding Game 3 is set for 7:05 p.m. For more about the Gulls, go here.
