Border Battle Tournament: A Split Decision for the Vistas
The Minot Vistas opened their Border Battle tournament with a decisive 10‑4 victory over the Regina White Sox, showcasing a potent offense that rolled across multiple innings. The team erupted for three runs in the second inning and added four more in the fourth, building a comfortable lead that they never relinquished.
Key contributors included Remington Anderson, Brody Mueller and Tegan Schindler, each recording two hits, while Mueller’s RBI triple in the fourth sparked the four‑run burst that put the Vistas ahead.
In stark contrast, the Vistas were held to just five hits in a 2‑0 loss to the Saskatoon Diamondbacks; the Diamondbacks’ Mitchell Rauckman struck out 11 batters, and a combined two‑hit effort from Mueller and Gannon Hedberg limited Minot’s scoring opportunities.
Despite the setback, the Vistas remain focused on their final pool game, scheduled for Saturday, June 6 at 2:30 p.m., where they will meet the Saskatoon Cubs in a contest that could determine their tournament standing.
