The Moose Jaw Giants have their first win of the Rambler Park men’s fastball league season, and they put it together in impressive fashion with a 12-2 win over The Rez at Lyle Helland Ball Diamond on Tuesday, May 25.

The Giants wasted little time getting things going, as their first four batters of the game all reached base and came around to score. By the time things were said and done in the opening frame, Moose Jaw had sent 10 batters to the plate and put up five runs.

It was more of the same in the third, as an 11-batter inning saw five more runs cross the plate, giving the Giants a 10-2 edge and more than enough offence to secure the victory.

Nick Davis hit a double and scored a pair of runs for Moose Jaw, while Jason Schneider was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. Brett Friesen and Evan Callaghan also scored two runs each.

Jesse Laframboise had the lone extra-base hit for The Rez, that a run-scoring double in the second.

Derrick Ross was the winning pitcher, going three innings and scattering four hits while allowing a pair of runs and striking out four. Dale Garthus tossed a 1-2-3 final inning.

Chris Bear was the losing pitcher.

The Giants (1-1) are back in action on Tuesday, May 31 when they take on the defending league champion Moose Jaw Canadians (1-1). Game time is 7 p.m. at Lyle Helland Ball Diamond.
