Saskatoon Berries ready for playoffs after setting new record for wins
Last Sunday the Saskatoon Berries set a new Western Canadian Baseball League record for most wins in a single season. The team, which is only in its second season, edged past the Sylvan Lake Gulls' 44 wins in 2024, and now holds the record with 45 wins. Tyson Dale, who usually plays under 18 AAA baseball with the Saskatoon Cubs, got his chance to play in the Western Canadian Baseball League with the Saskatoon Berries. He said he was very nervous, but excited to play in the league. "It feels like it was great. I had a really good time," he said of his experience. "It's a lot more competitive. Guys hit the ball so much harder." Dale said in this league there is no room for mistakes, and even a small error could cost you the game. But the guys in this league know how to get things done. "This is a special group of players, and to have the record that they have this year, it's really special," he said. "I want to take that drive to win into my baseball career." Dale said it would be amazing to be able to play for the Saskatoon Berries next year. "It's always a privilege to play and it's not guaranteed tomorrow," said Cooper Westland, who plays second base, shortstop and third base for the team. "You just want to go out there every day with your best effort and do it for the fans and your teammates as well." Westland said the reason for the success this season is because of the amount of love and support from the coaches, staff and other team members. "We just all just bond together and we just enjoy hanging out with each other," he said. "I think we do a really good job of just showing up each day with a smile on our face, and that's what keeps the whole team going." Jalen Freeman, who plays outfield, said they don't play to lose, they play to win. "That's just how we go about every day, every rep, every practice," he said. In two weeks he will be heading back to his hometown of Houston, Texas, but he says he loved playing for the Saskatoon Berries. "It did me great, this place was great. People were great, the fans were great," he said about his experience. "I mean it's kind of sad, but you know, life goes on and those people will always be in my heart. So it's cool." Freeman said the team is ready for the playoffs. "We are ready to go. We train all season. We worked all season."

Relive County Championship day four: Wins for Warks & Lancs; Rehan Ahmed takes 13 wickets
Update: Date: 18:18 BST 25 July Title: And relax! Content: #bbccricket That'll do it for this round of games then. We have seen wins for Somerset, Essex and Warwickshire in Division One. In Division Two Leicestershire have continued their charge towards promotion while Lancashire, Glamorgan and Middlesex were also victorious. You can read all about it here and pore over the league tables as well. We are back next Tuesday for another round of matches in the County Championship. Thanks for joining us and enjoy your weekend. Update: Date: 18:05 BST 25 July Title: Day four close of play scoreboards Content: #bbccricket Division One Division Two Update: Date: 18:04 BST 25 July Title: Post Content: After that hectic finish let's take a look at the close of play scores around the grounds Update: Date: 17:54 BST 25 July Title: Lancashire beat Gloucestershire by nine wickets Content: Glos 381 & 285 f/o v Lancs 577 & 111-1 But this will be Tom Hartley's match. From 302-8 in the first innings, he made a maiden first-class century in a record ninth-wicket stand of 213 with Chris Green who made 160. Hartley then took his best Lancashire figures of 6-116 and followed-up with 5-99 - the first time he's taken 10 wickets in a match. A superb display and a second win of the season for Lancashire, who have been revived under Jimmy Anderson. Update: Date: 17:52 BST 25 July Title: Lancashire beat Gloucestershire by nine wickets Content: Glos 381 & 285 f/o v Lancs 557 & 111-1 Josh Bohannon with the winning boundary and Lancashire have won with eight minutes to spare! Another wonderful game at Cheltenham College. Gloucestershire came back this morning following on but with all 10 wickets standing. They endured a very poor morning, were four down by lunch, and having got close to saving the game, that period might be the biggest area of regret. Update: Date: 17:43 BST 25 July Title: Lancs need 18 to win Content: Glos v Lancs 92-1 - target 110 Keaton Jennings drives Miles Hammond past cover for four before reaching fifty in 60 balls. The target within touching distance now. Update: Date: 17:42 BST 25 July Title: 'A noticeable upturn in results' Content: Glos v Lancs 92-1 - target 110 Ed SeabourneBBC Radio Bristol There has been a noticeable upturn in terms of the results, but not just the results that is clear as Lancashire have won two on the spin but the feel amongst the players as well. The performance levels have increased, there is a sense of optimism amongst the Lancashire fans. Update: Date: 17:35 BST 25 July Title: Lancs need 31 to win Content: Glos v Lancs 79-1 - target 110 Another 26 minutes, or nine overs, whichever comes latest, for Lancashire to score another 31. Cheltenham is such a hard ground to defend and Gloucestershire have been powerless to make this at all nervy for Lancashire so far. Keaton Jennings, 41, and Josh Bohannon, 34, bringing their side home. Update: Date: 17:32 BST 25 July Title: Yorkshire draw with Surrey Content: Yorkshire 517-6d & 120-5 v Surrey 537 When more than two sessions were lost on the second day at Scarborough a draw became most likely and this game has dribbled away. Some personal milestones - Matthew Revis's second hundred of the season, he made 110 not out in the first innings, and 7-162 for Dom Bess. Another decent haul of points for Surrey who stay top of the table by a point from Notts with four games to play. Yorkshire remain in the bottom two, 13 points from safety. Update: Date: 17:31 BST 25 July Title: 'Warwickshire have completed their giant chase' Content: Warks 184 & 396-5 v Worcs 333 & 243 Mike TaylorBBC WM commentator Warwickshire have completed their giant chase and they have won a game where they were second best on the second and third days, but they have come charging back today to recover from 12-2 last night. They chased down 393 and record a win that not only makes their first division status considerably more secure, but looking at the games ahead, they might still have an outside chance. That will hurt Worcestershire badly. Update: Date: 17:30 BST 25 July Title: Yorkshire draw with Surrey Content: Yorks 517-6d & 120-5 v Surrey 537 There's a determination to win and never give up - and then there's delusion. And surely Surrey have veered into the latter camp in the last 20 minutes. But finally hands are shaken at Scarborough. Update: Date: 17:28 BST 25 July Title: Lancs need 38 to win Content: Glos v Lancs 72-1 - target 110 Josh Bohannon's turn to go large as he takes Todd Murphy from round the wicket into the pavilion with a slog sweep. Update: Date: 17:26 BST 25 July Title: Warwickshire beat Worcestershire by five wickets Content: Warks 184 & 396-5 v Worcs 333 & 243 What an effort that is from the home side - their third highest successful run chase in the County Championship and Beau Webster finishes 100 not out. Ethan Brookes scored 227 runs in the game for Worcestershire who were on top for most of it. A victory target of 393 looked like it would be well beyond Warwickshire given how they batted in their first innings and when they were reduced to 12-2 but Zen Malik's century was the bedrock of their successful chase before Webster and Kai Smith (48*) guided them home. A hammer blow to the Pears survival hopes (assuming there is relegation) but are Warwickshire in the title hunt now? Update: Date: 17:25 BST 25 July Title: 100 for Beau Webster Content: Warks 392-5 v Worcs (target 393) Beau Webster scampers a single and reaches his century. Well played sir. Update: Date: 17:22 BST 25 July Title: 'Malik will get the headlines' Content: Warks 390-5 v Worcs (target 393) Dave BradleyBBC Hereford & Worcester cricket commentator It has been a good game of county cricket! Zen Malik will get the headlines but Beau Webster has played such a crucial role in this game. You get the feeling Webster is playing the hosts he has wanted to play all day, but couldn't risk it for his team. Update: Date: 17:21 BST 25 July Title: Post Content: Warks 390-5 v Worcs (target 393) Beau Webster thwacks Harry Finch to the cover boundary. He goes to 94 not out. Make that 98 as he pulls the next one to the square leg rope. Update: Date: 17:20 BST 25 July Title: Post Content: Warks 382-5 v Worcs (target 393) A mis-field costs Worcestershire two more runs - it's all academic to be honest but Worcestershire will be kicking themselves if (when) they lose this one. They just haven't been able to create enough wicket-taking chances in this second innings. Warwickshire need 11 more runs. Update: Date: 17:20 BST 25 July Title: MIDDLESEX WIN BY AN INNINGS & 107 RUNS Content: Middlesex 625-8 dec v Northants 261 & 257 They were made to work hard for it by Northants but Middlesex have their victory. Noah Cornwell takes the final wicket of Yuzvendra Chahal to seal the win for Middlesex. Middlesex's win had always looked likely but Northants deserve praise for holding out for this long. Their determined attitude was exemplified by Rob Keogh who finishes unbeaten on 61 from 192 balls. Update: Date: 17:19 BST 25 July Title: Lancs need 49 to win Content: Glos v Lancs 61-1 - target 110 Lancashire cruising now as Keaton Jennings comes down again and slap Graeme van Buuren's left-arm spin wide of midwicket for four. And follows up with a reverse sweep that beats deep point to the fence. Update: Date: 17:17 BST 25 July Title: 'It would take something pretty spectacular' Content: Yorks 108-5 lead Surrey by 88 Mark ChurchBBC Radio London commentator If you think about this logically and it would take something pretty spectacular but if they get two in an over and then another two in an over. Then leave themselves 10 overs to chase down around 90, that is why we are still out here.

Group F On a night packed with goals, John Robertson struck three times in the closing minutes to give East Kilbride a famous win against Raith Healy had given last season's Lowland League champions the lead in Fife but it looked like the Championship side had recovered through efforts from Jai Rowe and Lewis Robertson had other ideas, levelling the game on 89 minutes before banging in a penalty and completing his hat-trick on 94 striker Billy Mckay and Luis Longstaff got the goals as Inverness Caley Thistle beat Elgin City 2-0 to make this another section with four teams on three points.
