Neepawa Cubs lose twice in SCBL

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

It was a rough week for the Neepawa Cubs, as they dropped a pair of games on the Santa Clara Baseball League schedule. First, the Cubs found themselves figuratively handcuffed at the plate by A’s pitcher Alex Klassen, which lead to a 3-1 loss in Austin on June 28. Klassen picked up the complete game victory, by allowing just four hits over seven innings. He also struck out 11 Neepawa batters, on the way to the win.

A few nights later, a late game come-back fell just a little bit short for the Cubs, as they were defeated 10-9 by the Carberry Royals. In this game, the Royals jumped out to a seemingly insurmountable 10-1 lead, after 3-and-a-half innings
