The Lethbridge Junior Bulls are still alive at the Junior Little League Canadian Championship.

The boys were at it early Thursday morning, looking for a big win against B.C. and they got it.

Wyatt Byers had three hits and River Hope collected three RBIs in the 5-1 Team Alberta win.

“We played really well,” said Lethbridge Junior Bulls head coach Zach Goruk. “Our starting pitcher, Kiowa Thunder Chief, pitched a hell of a game — probably one of our best games of the year.

Kiowa Thunder Chief only gave up one run while striking out five batters.

The Bulls improve to 2-3 and still have a shot at the playoff round.

It could be a “win and you’re in” game when they finish their round robin schedule Friday night.
