AMANDA’S ALBUM

OKOTOKS, Alta. _ Anthony Balderas was so dominant in 2016 he was a Western Major Baseball League’s first team all-star.

And he was also voted the Dawgs pitcher of the year.

Don’t look know but Balderas is bullish on Okotoks once again ...

Balderas pitched eight scoreles inning fanning nine in a 6-0 Dawgs win over the Lethbridge Bulls in front of a sold-out crowd at Seaman Stadium. 

Balderas picked up the win to bump his record to 5-1.

C Joel Brophy (Burlington, Ont.) of the Niagara Purple Eagles had his second hit of the night in the fifth.

Zach Hanna (University of Missouri) had a determined look when he stepped into the batter's box in the fifth. 

Hanna capped the fifth off, hitting the first pitch he saw over the wall in right for his third home run of the season.

Matt Lloyd (Indiana University - Okotoks, Alta.)  extended his hitting streak to a franchise-high 22 games with a one-run single of his own. 

RP Brennen Lauffenburger, a high kicker from Linn Benton Community College, finished off with a scoreless ninth. 

Eddie Sanchez (8) had a two-hit game and celebrated post-game with his brother Ricardo. 

RHP Liam Stroud (Maple Ridge, BC) of the British Columbia Thunderbirds signs for fans. 
 

And ... now let's throw it downstairs ... to Dustin Saracini with his post-game guest Anthony Balderas
