The Southeast Performance Pump midget AAA Twins pulled off an impressive come-from behind win in their game against the Regina Athletics on Tuesday night in Regina.
The Athletics had a 3-0 lead after two innings, but the Twins scored once in the third and twice in the fifth to tie the game. It remained a tie game through the seventh inning, so the contest went to extras.
In the top of the ninth, the Twins scored three times to take a 6-3 advantage, and while the Athletics scored twice in the bottom half of the inning, they didn’t get the tying run.
Thomas Husband and Boston Walker each had two hits in four at bats for the Twins. Walker and Aiden Krafchuk each knocked in two runs.
Jayke Smolinski started the game for the Twins. He gave up three runs, all earned, in 1 2/3 innings. Kaiden Lyons came on in relief and didn’t give up a run in 4 2/3 innings.
Rylan Erb had another 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, and Bryson Andres gave up two runs in the ninth inning.
The Twins did not commit an error on the night.
Their next action in league play will be when they visit the Saskatoon Diamondbacks on June 22 and the Saskatoon Cubs on June 23 for double-headers.
