Coming off the best regular season in their brief history, it香蕉视频直播檚 little surprise the are considered the favourites heading into the championship.

Playing in the familiar surroundings of Edith Gay Park, the host Sun Devils couldn香蕉视频直播檛 ask for a much better scenario for the 2017 provincial tournament.

Still, with just four days and a handful of games remaining in the season香蕉视频直播攁nd six other teams aiming for the same coveted prize香蕉视频直播攈ead coach Rob Law said his club will be taking nothing for granted.

香蕉视频直播淲e had a great regular season, but provincials are a completely different story,香蕉视频直播� said Law, whose club went 30-8 to finish in top spot. 香蕉视频直播淵ou play four round robin games against four different teams, so every inning of every game is crucial.

香蕉视频直播淓very team in the league has beaten us at one time or another this year, so there香蕉视频直播檚 no letting your guard down. For our guys, each game will be about playing seven innings with everything they香蕉视频直播檝e got.香蕉视频直播�

The Sun Devils open provincials on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. against Victoria. Round robin games will follow against Vernon and North Shore on Friday, then North Fraser on Saturday.

Like any game or tournament, Law expects his favoured Sun Devils will face some adversity this week at provincials. But based on both team chemistry and character香蕉视频直播攚in or lose香蕉视频直播攖he head coach knows his players will leave it all on the field.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 just an amazing group of kids,香蕉视频直播� said Law. 香蕉视频直播淚 haven香蕉视频直播檛 seen a team that香蕉视频直播檚 gelled like this one. They香蕉视频直播檝e got each other香蕉视频直播檚 back and when somebody makes a mistake, there香蕉视频直播檚 someone there to pick him up. It香蕉视频直播檚 a tight knit group.

香蕉视频直播淓very kid has taken turns stepping up this year,香蕉视频直播� he added. 香蕉视频直播淭hey香蕉视频直播檙e confident but not cocky going into this. Most of all, we want them to have fun, enjoy this and just play hard.香蕉视频直播�

Nelmes no-hits Victoria

In a season that produced more than a few highlights, Dreyton Nelmes and his Sun Devils teammates waited until the last game of the regular campaign to provide perhaps the most memorable moment of all.

The 16-year-old pitcher threw a complete game, no-hitter on Sunday afternoon, as Kelowna blanked the Victoria Eagles 9-0 in the finale of a four-game series.

Nelmes wasn香蕉视频直播檛 actually aware he had a no-no going until the fifth inning when he heard a Victoria opponent bring it up.

Once his teammates found out香蕉视频直播攊n keeping with traditional baseball superstition香蕉视频直播攖hey made no mention of the no-hitter and instructed Nelmes to go sit silently by himself at the end of the dugout.

With the sixth and seventh innings to go, Nelmes simply followed the fundamentals of pitching like any other game.

香蕉视频直播淚 was thinking two more innings to go and as long as we win, that香蕉视频直播檚 all that matters,香蕉视频直播� said Nelmes, a Grade 11 student at Immaculata. 香蕉视频直播�(The no-hitter) was in the back of my mind but it was really just doing what I needed to do to help win the game.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a team game, I had to rely on my teammates and there香蕉视频直播檚 no way we could have celebrated this together without them,香蕉视频直播� added Nelmes, who struck out seven batters. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 starting to sink in what I did, it香蕉视频直播檚 nice, but I香蕉视频直播檓 more happy for the team.香蕉视频直播�

The Sun Devils香蕉视频直播� defense was airtight behind Nelmes, making several big plays including Spencer Klassen香蕉视频直播檚 leaping grab at second base to take a sure hit away from the Eagles香蕉视频直播� batter.

香蕉视频直播淗e actually looked like he climbed on air, amazing,香蕉视频直播� Sun Devils coach Rob Law said of Klassen香蕉视频直播檚 catch.

As for Nelmes香蕉视频直播� performance, Law said it has a special place in the Sun Devils香蕉视频直播� three-year history.

香蕉视频直播淚t was truly amazing what he did,香蕉视频直播� added Law. 香蕉视频直播淥ur coaching staff leaned in and whispered to each other after the fifth inning and said香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播榊ou see what is going on here?香蕉视频直播� The three of us just nodded.

香蕉视频直播淚t was great to watch, I have goosebumps talking about it.香蕉视频直播�

Nelmes香蕉视频直播� effort was preceded by another stellar outing on the mound by a Sun Devils香蕉视频直播� pitcher. Jordan Laidlaw tossed a complete game one-hitter in a series opening 10-0 victory on Saturday.

香蕉视频直播淓verything was working for him, he had full command of his pitches, it was pretty to watch,香蕉视频直播� Law said of Laidlaw香蕉视频直播檚 win.

The clubs split the other two games of the series, with the Sun Devils winning 6-5 and the Eagles bouncing back with a 2-1 win Sunday morning.
