After being rained out, the Vauxhall Spurs and Great Falls Chargers made up their doubleheader this past weekend.

With the weather much more cooperative, the two teams did battle at Jets Stadium on July 3.

The first game of the day was all Spurs as the home team cruised to an 11-1 win. Aidan Maxwell got the start on the mound and gave the Spurs three innings of one-hit ball which included three strikeouts while only walking out one.

Daxton Schrader went the final three innings and only allowed one unearned run on one hit while also striking out three and walking one. Parker McLaughlin (one RBI) and Landen Gustafson (two RBI) led the way offensively with a double and single each respectively. Langdyn Cummins had a hit and an RBI and Landon Howg had a hit in the win.

Overall, the Spurs’ hitters collected four walks in the first game.

The second game was much of the same as the Spurs once again found a way to score plenty of runs en route to a 14-4 win. McLaughlin was 3-4 with five RBI while Tage Jensen went 2-3 with a double and two RBI.

Cummins had another two hits while Maxwell and Taitsen Wood each had a hit and an RBI, and Eric Reiling also contributed with an RBI. The Spurs were patient at the plate once again as they walked six times.

Tanner Bullock took the ball in game two and gave the Spurs four innings while striking out three, walking four, and allowing a single earned run while the other three were unearned. Cummins pitched the final two innings and struck out three and walked two.

Next up for Legion A action, the Spurs hit the field to take on the Fort Macleod Royals for another makeup doubleheader on Tuesday night.
