Mets earn dramatic 1st win of the season

There was just one game on the schedule Tuesday evening in the Wheatbelt Baseball League, but it turned out to be a thriller between the Grimshaw Huskies and the Manning Mets.

The contest was the 2nd half of a home and home between these two teams, with the Huskies claiming the first half 13-5 last Thursday.

However, Tuesday night’s game in Manning turned out to be much closer than the first meeting.

The visiting Huskies got off to a good start scoring 3 runs in the top of the 1st inning.

Manning would come back strong though, scoring four unanswered runs in the next four innings to take a 4-3 lead.

The back and forth affair would continue in the 5th and 6th innings as the Huskies would score 6 runs over the course of the 2 innings to take a 9-4 lead.

The Mets would begin to climb back in the bottom half of the 6th with 3 runs of their own to cut the deficit to 2.

In the bottom half of the 7th Manning would even the game at 9 with a pair of runs and as a result the game would need an extra inning where Manning would complete the comeback and earn a 10-9 win.

The win is Manning’s 1st of the season.

They will look to make it back to back wins Wednesday night when they host the Peace River Stampeders.
