This past weekend, the Swift Current baseball teams had a series of intense games, showcasing both skill and determination. Each team faced its challenges, but they also celebrated victories, highlighted by standout performances from individual players.
18U AAA Kal Tire 57’s Performance
In the 18U AAA category, the Swift Current Kal Tire 57’s had a remarkable showing against the Saskatoon Giants. The team claimed an impressive 8-0 victory on Saturday, largely thanks to Mason Fauser, who took center stage. Fauser delivered a stellar performance both at the plate and on the mound. He went 2 for 4, contributing 2 RBIs and scoring 2 runs. On the pitching side, Fauser demonstrated remarkable control and skill by throwing 7 innings, allowing only 1 hit while walking 4 batters and striking out an impressive 8.
Kyrell Adair also made his mark during the game, going 2 for 3 and scoring 3 runs. The combination of offensive power from Fauser and Adair set the tone for what turned out to be a dominant win.
The second game of the doubleheader saw the Swift Current team continue their strong performance with another victory, this time edging out the Giants 3-1. Hudson Unger also made significant contributions, finishing 1 for 2 at the plate while walking twice and scoring two crucial runs. Jase Johnson delivered on the mound, allowing just 1 run in 6 2/3 innings, while striking out 10 batters to secure the win. Looking ahead, the 18U AAA team is set to face the Regina Athletics in a doubleheader on June 21st and will take on the Saskatoon Cubs the following day.
15U AAA Argue Law 57’s Setback
In contrast to the success of the 18U team, the Swift Current Argue Law 15U AAA 57’s faced a tough battle against the Saskatoon Brewers, suffering a 9-0 defeat on Friday. This loss serves as a reminder of the competitive nature of the league, as every game is a chance to learn and grow. The 15U team will regroup and won’t have another league match until Friday, June 27th, when they take on the Saskatoon Expos.
11U AAA 57’s Busy Weekend
The 11U AAA 57’s had a bustling weekend filled with four games over the span of two days.

However, the team faced further challenges in their next doubleheader against the Regina Wolfpack, enduring defeats in both games. The scores were 13-3 in the first match and a closer nail-biter of 12-10 in the second.
