Erin Kirkland struck out four batters over four innings. The Aces play again Thursday morning at 9:15 local time against the Newfoundland Selects.
The U16 Aces have had a shakier start at their tournament in Winnipeg, losing both their games Wednesday. In their morning game, the Aces fell 4-0 to the Smitty’s Terminators. In the afternoon contest, the Aces lost 7-5 to the Saskatoon Hustlers despite having a 4-0 lead after four innings. In the top of the fifth inning, the Hustlers tied things up and scored three more in the seventh inning. Ashley Kolosa went three innings, allowing two runs on three hits. The U16 Aces play Calgary Kaizen Thursday at 2 p.m.
The Prince Albert U19 Astros (4-0) will have a busy day Thursday as a result of rain postponing their game against Quebec Wednesday night. The Astros brought the Thunder Thursday morning, beating Quebec 8-1. The Astros were scheduled to play Napanee at 9:30 a.m. In their morning game Wednesday, the Astros beat Shallow Lake 5-1. The Astros managed to scatter six hits over six innings. Cayden Schmautz allowed one run on four hits and struck out six batters.
