On Saturday, Cole Parusinni tossed a complete game eight hitter in a 5-1 win.

Offensively, the Coyotes only managed four hits, but were aided by costly Calgary walks and errors. Aaron Barrett was the lone bright spot going 1-1 with a double, walk, was hit by a pitch, stole two bases and scored three times.

The second half of the doubleheader saw OC drop an extra inning game 5-4 in 10. Brett Fleming threw eight solid innings allowing four runs, all coming in the third inning.

On Sunday, the Coyotes took both games by scores of 4-1 and 10-0.

In the first game, Mitchell St. Laurent gave up just a run and three hits in a complete game effort. Todosichuk went 2-for-4, scoring twice and stealing three bases. Eric Junnola added a double and two RBIs.

"Our offense will be able to put up runs against each team in our league, the one question mark we have had is whether our pitchers would be able to hold off other teams offenses. I believe this weekend we showed that we have five capable starters and the back end of our bullpen will be tough to score on.香蕉视频直播
