BASEBALL 57’s clinch Eastern Division championship The Swift Current 57’s strung together seven straight wins to clinch an Eastern Division championship and home field advantage for the first two rounds of the Western Major Baseball League playoffs. The 57’s are currently facing the fourth-place Moose Jaw Miller Express in a best-of-five series, which opened Tuesday and Wednesday in Swift Current. Visit swbooster.com for full playoff coverage. Games three and four will be Thursday and Friday in Moose Jaw. Game five, if necessary, will be Saturday back in Swift Current. The 57’s concluded the regular season with a 33-15 record, 10 games ahead of Moose Jaw (23-25). The two teams split the six-game season series. “It is going to be a battle. They played us tough all year. They are a team that can swing it, they can pitch it, and their record doesn’t indicate how good of a team they are. It is going to battle and it should be a fun series,” said coach Joe Carnahan. “Moose Jaw is a pretty good team, they played us well. We just need to come out and play how we know how to play and we should be able to take care of busi- ness,” added outfielder Blake Adams. The 57’s had lost three straight games before rat- tling off the next seven wins to pass Regina and hold off Weyburn in the standings. “It was just about staying together, just staying together and wanting it. We have got a talented team. We have guys that are buying into what we want to do,” said Carnahan. “I think we just started to relax a little bit. We went STEVEN MAH/SOUTHWEST BOOSTER through a rough patch for four or five games and got Brett Esau (right) completed a double play during the Swift Current 57’s seven-game winning streak to conclude the all uptight.
