MEDICINE HAT, AB – A comeback attempt fell just short for the Medicine Hat High JV Mohawks baseball team on Saturday morning, dropping an exhibition meeting against the Eagle Butte High Talons.

Eagle Butte built up a 9-0 lead after four innings, with Ryder Krauss and Parker Starner each knocking in a pair of runs.

Trailing 10-1 entering the sixth inning, the Mohawks began slowly chipping away at the Talons lead with Seth Baille, Kobe Coderre, and Zac Henderson all scoring before the first out.

An RBI single from Daniel Munoz and a pair of walks with the bases loaded helped to cut into the deficit even more, with the Mohawks only down by three runs.

However, Eagle Butte’s Tyler Bang closed things out with a strikeout to end the game, giving the Talons a 10-7 victory.
