Medicine Hat Jr. Mavs will look for redemption in Little League finals

—

Player Reid Pluta said they didn’t play great when they met B.C. in the pool play.

“We were just not playing really good against them. We had a couple errors, didn’t hit really good,” Pluta had said in an interview Monday.

Coach Trevor Bishop agreed that the team struggled in their first game with B.C.

“We had a little bit of a tough time there with B.C. which I think you know all in all that’s probably a good thing for us,” Bishop said.

“A good learning lesson the boys learned some things and now we know where we need to improve.”

For the returning players Bishop said redemption from last years loss to B.C. is on a lot of the players mind.

“I believe there’s nine returnees on the team,” Bishop said.

“There is definitely that strong feeling in the boys that they want back at that final and they want redemption,” he added.

“I’ve heard it come up numerous times.”

The championship game goes tomorrow at 10 a.m.

On the line is also a spot representing Canada at the 2025 Intermediate 50/70 World Series in Livermore, Calif. from July 27-Aug. 3.
