• 30 YEARS AGO — Brandon starting pitcher Lyle Wright scattered five hits over nine innings as the Cloverleafs shut out the host Riverside Canucks 7- 0 in a Manitoba Senior Baseball League game. Wright struck out 12 Canucks.
• 20 YEARS AGO — Buddy Mayert was the star of the show in the South West Baseball League. Mayert struck out 10 to earn the win and also helped his own cause with a single, a double, an RBI and two runs scored to lead the Reston Rockets to a 3-1 victory over the Virden Oilers. Mayert scattered just two hits and five walks over seven innings of work.
