Pincher Creek's Senior Dust Devils hosted the Claresholm Prairie  Dawgs at Sproule Field on the evening of Thursday, May 31.  A brisk wind was blowing, but the weather was better than it has been lately.  The Dust Devils came out on top 17-6.  Mitchell Zoratti and Colton Ball pitched an outstanding game, and the team seems to have really put it all together, batting well and demonstrating solid fundamentals.  Four straight wins for the Seniors, putting them at 4-0 for the season so far.

Next up on the Seniors schedule is an away game in Sparwood, to be held Tuesday, June 5.

Senior Dust Devils' Mitchell Zoratti was the Running Champ in his division in the recent skills competition, Michael Svab was a participant, and Jared Francis was the 13-14 All-Around Champion, and the Champion  in Hitting and Pitching.
