On Canada's 142nd birthday, the Red Sox came up a couple runs short falling 7-5 to the Central Division leading Swift Current Indians. With the score 7-5 in the bottom of the nine the Sox had the bases juiced and a full count on one of their hottest hitters Eric McKinney. With the runners on the move McKinney scorched a line drive that was caught by Indians 3rd baseman Shaun Lee and like that the game was over.
The Sox travel to Yorkton on Friday night to try to gain some ground on the second place Cardinals.
Next home action for the Sox is Sunday - 7:00 p.m. versus the East Division leading Melville Millionaires.
