Tuesday July 27th was a great success for the Lethbridge Bulls. It was the final regular season game, and the Bulls took the win 7-4 over the Edmonton Prospects. Tuesday night was also fan appreciation night and strike out for hunger. With the stands packed and everyone brining a food donations the Lethbridge Bulls managed to collect 722 lbs of food for the Interfaith Food Bank.

The Bulls play game one and two of playoff in Okotoks this Friday and Saturday and will be home to play game three and hopefully four Sunday and Monday. Sunday’s game will be an evening game starting at 7:05 pm.

It was a great weekend of baseball at Spitz Stadium. The weekend started Thursday night with the Bulls playing against the Swift Current Indians. With the game going into the 11th inning the Bulls took the win 7-6. Friday night the Bulls faced the Indians once again, but the end result did not turn out quite the same with the Indians winning 11-7. Saturday night the Bulls hosted the Melville Millionaires. It was a well played game against the Millionaires, with the Bulls taking the win 13-7. On Sunday the Millionaires were back at Spitz Stadium to face the Bulls. After a hot day in the sun the Bulls got their second victory of 9-3 over the Millionaires. The Bulls will play their final season game before playoffs Tuesday night at Spitz Stadium against the Edmonton Prospects. Game time is at 7:05pm.

Tuesday night is Fan Appreciation night, as well as Strike Out for Hunger. Those that bring a non-perishable food item for Interfaith Food Bank will receive $5 off regular admission price. Also those who make a donation to Interfaith Food Bank will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a prize each time the Bulls STRIKE OUT a player from the opposing team. Last year STRIKE OUT HUNGER spectators packed the stadium and collected 331 pounds of food for Interfaith Food Bank.  Let’s try to beat that record at this year’s game.

After an almost two hour rain delayed game, the Lethbridge Bulls got an outstanding 18-2 win against the Okotoks Dawgs last night. Tonight the Bulls will once again face the Dawgs, but this time the Bulls are on the Dawgs territory. Can the Bulls make it two wins in row against the Dawgs?

The Bulls will play their last away game tonight in Okotoks and will back at home on Thursday July 22 to face the Swift Current Indians.

The Lethbridge Bulls are on an unfortunate four game losing streak. After losing to Okotoks on Sunday with a final score of 8-2, the Bulls traveled to Medicine Hat to try to secure a win, but were unable to come through leaving the final score of Monday night’s game 9-4. Tuesday night the Bulls were at home playing another game against Medicine Hat, and after a long cold night of baseball the Bulls lost 15-14. Last night the Bulls were at home facing the Moose Jaw Miller Express and after a short 1:56 game the Bulls lost 3-2. The Bulls are playing at home tonight against Moose Jaw and tomorrow night against Edmonton.

The Lethbridge Bulls battled the Okotoks Dawgs three times in as many nights, with two very different results. The Bulls only win was sandwiched between two lopsided losses. What is leaving the players, coaches, as well as many fans confused is how they win and how they lose games. Watching the Bulls play Friday and watching them play Saturday was like watching two different teams. The team that played Friday was sloppy and prone to errors. However, if the Bulls are able to play the way they played on Saturday night, there are few teams in the league that can keep up to them.

This team looks like a team that is ready to take the next step. The players and coaching staff know that they can beat anyone in this league when they are playing at their best; it’s just a matter of crossing their T’s and dotting their I’s. Tonight the team is on Medicine Hat to take on the Mavericks, for their second last away game of the year.

The Lethbridge Bulls are on the road for back-to-back games versus the Regina Red Sox. The first of those games was played last night. The Bulls came out gaining the lead with one run in the first inning; where they lead the game 1-0. Then in the 3rd inning, the Sox took control of the game driving in 4 runs. The Bulls once again were unable to muster any sort of offense, finally losing the game 8-1. During this losing streak the Bulls have been outscored 16-3 and they will look to remedy their lack of scoring tonight when they, once again, play the Red Sox in Regina.

What is becoming an alarming trend happened once again last night. The Bulls were unable to beat the western divisions leading team. After tying the game in the first until the chains were broken in the 5th where the Dawgs took the lead 3-2. In the 6th the Dawgs found some insurance in the form of 4 more runs; the Bulls seemingly had no answer to Dawgs after that, eventually losing the game a walloping 8-2.

The Dawgs have dominated the Bulls all season with a convincing 4-1 series lead and out scoring the Boys from the Bridge 27-12. The Bulls only win came in a shocking victory at Spitz Stadium on June 22 with Michael Oberto on the mound. The Bulls will play their next two home games against the Dawgs this Friday and Saturday, both games starting at 7:05pm. The question remains can Coach Rhodes capture the fire the players had in their lone victory over the noisy Dawgs?
