The Athletics (6-4) travelled to Holden to take on the Blue Jays (6-3) with playoff implications already on the line.  It was yet again another scortching hot day in Holden, as all the important games seem to be late in the season.  Both teams are fighting to catch Armena and Edmonton in the standings, while trying to avod the 4 vs 5 play in game.

Rosalind sent ace, Dan Enright to the mound in such an important game.  The right hander was coming off a season best performance against.  Enright pitched well, especially commanding his change up and got a couple really good defensive plays behind him.  Double plays in the 3rd and 4th innings haulted the rallies that the Blue Jays were stringing together.  Enright threw a complete game 7 innings, allowing 1 unearned run, on 9 hits, while striking out 3 and walking one.

Offensively, Adam Enright was crushing the ball on a line in his 3 for 4 effort that narrowly missed going perfect as a hot shot up th middle appeared in the pitchers glove.  Brett Yuha went 2 for 3 with a single and a double and 2 RBI's.  Brayden Benson threw it in high gear on his stand up double.  While 0 for 2, Sheldon Pederson had 3 walks and 4 stolen bases.

After a come from behind win in the first game of the short tournament against the Camrose Roadrunners, the Rosalind A's made up of mostly pick ups, took on the merged Heisler Cardinals and Spring Lake Lakers.  The newly formed team is called The Rivals, and continues to play in the Battle River League, and currently sit at the top of the standings.

Matt Enright got the start against the Rivals, a rare start, but not appearence for Enright.  A few sloppy defensive plays in the field Matt got behind the 8 ball from the get go, and it was just too much to recover from against the Rivals, who had a lot of power and good hitters throughout the line up.

With only 3 regulars off the Rosalind roster, a group of pickups and older vets went to the Heisler tournament.  In the first game of the tournament, the A's took on a combined group of mostly Camrose Roadrunners and a few Spring Lake Old Timers.

Ty Twitchell got the start for Rosalind, coming off a bumpy relief apperance, the young right hander was eager to get back on track.  Twitchell had a couple balls drop in just between fielders, and pitched better than the 7 runs allowed would dictate.  Twitchell was still throwing hard late in the game, and gave the A's a chance to win.  In the end, Twitchell pitche a complete game.
