Late home run leads Giants over Canadians
Flanagan round-tripper in bottom of sixth leads to 7-6 Giants win in Rambler Park fastball league action
Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express
Like the weather, the battle for Moose Jaw supremacy in the Rambler Park men’s fastball league continues to heat up as the season goes on. Their most recent meeting this past Tuesday at Lyle Helland Ball Diamond offered the most recent example. Brad Flanagan hit a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning, and starter Al Muhle retired the side in order in the seventh to give the Giants a 3-2 victory. Brett Friesen and Jason Schneider scored the Giants’ other runs in the third inning, but the Canadians would claw those back the next two frames. Bryce Crosbie led off the fourth with a triple and scored, Riley Almasi added the tying run in the top of the fifth. Muhle allowed six hits on the night and struck out five to earn the win; the Giants had nine hits off Canadians pitcher Dean Holoien, who capped the contest with 14 strikeouts. Both teams picked up ties on Thursday night in Regina, as the Canadians drew 3-3 with the Standing Buffalo Dakotas and the Giants ended up in an 11-11 draw with the Earl Grey Rockets. The Giants now sit second in the Rambler Park standings with a 5-2-2 record, the Canadians third at 5-3-1. The Giants are back in action Tuesday, July 20 when they face the Regina Gold at 7 p.m. at Memorial Field while the Canadians take on the Earl Grey Rockets at 9 p.m.
Al Muhle delivers for the Giants earlier this season.
Golden Ticket Sports officially open for business Opening night on Saturday saw public welcome to shoot around with donation to food bank
Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express
Walking into the former Hillcrest Sports Centre on Friday morning, the first sign that everything had changed in the building was the overwhelming smell of fresh paint. A short trip down the stairs into the former curling lobby told the rest of the story. Where there was once a cement floor in the summer and 14 sheets of curling ice in the winter now stands a gleaming, brand-new multi-sport wooden floor, lined for sports ranging from basketball to pickleball and everything in between. There was still some work to be done in advance of the official opening in just over 24 hours later, but make no mistake: Golden Ticket Sports was ready to go. “We had a really good team, that’s how we got ‘er done at the rate we did and how it all looks, you can’t get that done without good people,” Golden Ticket owner Tanner Brightman said during the special preview on Friday. “But now I’m just eager to get people in here, I think it’ll be exciting to see people’s reaction to what we have here.” The public was able to get their first look a the refurbished facility on Saturday, as Golden Ticket allowed players to shoot around for a donation of a non-perishable food item for the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank.
The opening marks the completion of Phase One of the project, with Phase Two seeing the installation of indoor beach volleyball courts at the back of the facility, and Phase Three covering ancillary items like a weight-training facility, bleachers Austin Chase and Tanner Brightman on and upgrades to the air-conditioning systhe Golden Ticket Sports court on Friday tem. morning. That’ll all be work for the future, though. In the meantime, it’s right to business. The first Golden Ticket basketball camp began on Monday, July 19, and the facility will be busy right through the first week of August. Word is already getting out, too, with inquiries coming from all angles about renting the facility. “The challenge for us is to manage it all since everyone wants the same amount of time,” Brightman said. “People have been awesome reaching out and letting us know and as we kind of get up and rolling here we’ll circle back and fill up the calendar.” It’s all as positive a development as possible for the building, which not too long ago was facing questions as to whether or not it would face demolition. City of Moose Jaw recreation services manager Scott Osmachenko was one of those on hand Friday to check things out, and like everyone, was impressed with what he saw. “It’s wonderful, just the smell of fresh paint, it seems like it’s brand new and then there’s the hardwood floor and all the finishing… it’s impressive,” he said. “You walk in the building and it’s still like the curling club, but it’s not. It just seems bigger with the glass and the lights and how everything is set up. The sporting needs of the community are definitely being met with this facility.”
