On Friday night Hoeglers fellow UBC teammate Tyson Kilbreath would take the mound for the first time since going eight shutout innings against Fort McMurray last Thursday. Daniel Crabtree would go for the Red Sox.
Regina would start quickly as Jackson Alinaz drove in Jackson Syring in the first and Justin Carinci scored Silas Butler in the second. Crabtree was dailed in on the mound for Regina. He would settle in and carry a no hitter into the sixth inning.
Kilbreath would match his energy though as both pitchers would keep getting outs and make the game air tight. In the sixth Jouseph Gelpi and Payton Matthews would get on and Gelpi would score off a past ball. In the seventh the Bombers had a chance to tie the game when Jacob Police hit a single into left field. Jacob Gillis was digging for home but was thrown out in a close play at the plate.
Kilbreath would toss his fifth straight scorless inning in the seventh and would be back out there for the eighth. He would walk Jaylen Meyers and strikeout Jackson Syring but Kody Hannah would get his team high third hit of the night and it would be a costly one as it left the yard ending Kilbreaths incredible night.
Regina would add another run after Kilbreath was pulled and it completly took the wind out of the Bombers sails. Crabtree would throw a complete on friday night to cap off the series sweep of Brooks.
