While the OC defense had some lapses and the pitching staff would not pitch to their capabilities, the offense just would not be stopped.

In game one on Friday, sophomore starting pitcher
Chris Wyslobocki went all seven innings allowing no runs, five hits, four walks and striking out eight batters. All but one OC batter who came to the plate recorded a hit, led by senior Jake Fischer and junior Noah Wood-Jolivet who were both three for five with two RBI. Seven other Coyotes each had two hits to add to the 21 in the game. OC won game one by a 13-0 score.

On Saturday, the Coyotes again scored in the double digits - 16 times on 19 hits. Senior
Davis Todosichuk would have a big game going four for six with a double and an RBI. freshman Brendan Luther and sophomore Trevor Mlait each went three for six, with Luther chalking up three RBI. The Coyotes stole eight bases in the game. On the mound, OC needed four pitchers to get the job done. Freshman starting pitcher Nick Lee struggled with consistency as he lasted only three innings, allowing two runs on four hits, walking four and striking out five. In relief, sophomore Alex Dawson threw 1.2 innings allowing two runs on two hits and walking three. Next on the mound was freshman Brett Reid who threw 2.1 innings allowing no runs, no hits, walking three and striking out one. Freshman Jayden Clayton closed the game, throwing two innings, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks. OC won game two 16-7.

In game three, OC continued to dominate at the plate, scoring 11 runs on 15 hits. Fischer and freshman
Massimo Peranio would rack up three hits each with Fischer driving in four runs. Freshman Nolan King had two hits and three RBI, while senior Jeremy Buckley would also have two hits and two RBI. Senior Trevor Brigden started on the mound and threw six innings allowing three runs on eight hits, striking out seven Dinos. Brigden sits at the top of the wins leaderboard with five and top of the strikeouts with 51. Junior Wyatt Hummel came in as relief and threw three innings allowing no earned runs, one hit and three strikeouts. OC won the game 11-4.

On Sunday, the final game of the series was played and it was back and forth early on, until OC took the lead in the eighth inning. On the mound, sophomore
Jesse Poniewozik threw five innings allowing four runs on seven hits, walking four and striking out three. Sophomore Gavin Barrett came in as relief but could not get an out before freshman Austin Brown took over. Brown would throw the final four innings allowing no runs, one hit and striking out five. On offence, Peranio had a huge game going four for five with two doubles and four RBI. Freshman Tyler Monks was three for five with two RBI, Todosichuk was three for three with a double and an RBI and Fischer would go two for four with three RBI to add to his league leading 23 RBI. The Coyotes were down by 8-6 going into the seventh inning, scoring one run in the top of the seventh, three in the eighth inning to take the lead and four in the top of the 9th to take a commanding 14-8 lead - the final score.

The Coyotes now have a record of 17-5, which all but guarantees them 1st or 2nd going into the championships. OC has a bye weekend to let their batteries recharge before their final six games. OC will play host to TRU on Wednesday May 1
st at 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., which will also be their Senior Night where they celebrate their graduating senior players between games. Then they will travel to Lethbridge to take on the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs on May 3rd and 4th.
