Pitching 1.2 innings of relief, Willowbrook's Tyson Nesbitt registered his first win in the Western Major Baseball League as his Yorkton Cardinals scored 4 runs in the top of the 9th inning to come from behind and beat Regina 6-3, becoming the league's 4th team to reach the 10 win plateau. It took them just 16 games to do it.
J.J. Leaper got the save for Yorkton, pitching the entire 9th inning, while their usual closer, Chris Byford started the game, and struck out 9 batters, while giving up 3 runs, 2 of them earned, on 4 hits and walked 2.
At the plate, 2B Jarrod Ivan was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Mark Magdaleno had 2 RBI's. Jordan Herbison, normally a pitcher, went 1-for-1 with an RBI and a run scored.
The Cardinals head to Moose Jaw tomorrow (WED), while the Melville Millionaires (7-4) are in Swift Current tonight. Check back for the Mils' Weekly Coach's Show with Garnet Keller.

TSN.ca is reporting Detroit Red Wings' Coach Mike Babcock will be introduced as the Canadian Olympic team coach in 2010 at a news conference on Thursday. Since watching most of his press conferences through the playoffs I'm pretty sure there's no better choice. Love hsi attitude and how he deals with the media.

Also on TSN, Bob McKenzie has John Tavares as the #1 ranked prospect going into this Friday's NHL Entry Draft in Montreal. But he also thinks the New York Islanders are leaning towards taking Swedish defenseman Victor Hedman with that first overall pick. The Tampa Bay Lightning pick 2nd, Colorado 3rd. Brian Burke and the Toronto Maple Leafs are lurking in the weeds with the 7th pick, but, still hoping to move up.

Hope to see some of you Swan Valley Stampeder fans at tonight's AGM at the Westwood Inn. It starts at 7:30 (MB Time), and it'll be my first chance to meet, and interview new Head Coach Dwayne Kirkup.
