Red-hot Edmonton Prospects clinch spot in Western Canadian Baseball League playoffs

The Edmonton Prospects clinched a spot in the 2019 Western Canadian Baseball League playoffs on Monday with a 12-7 victory over the Brooks Bombers at RE/MAX Field.

Because of rain resulting in a number of games being postponed this summer, the Prospects’ win on Monday marked their sixth game in just three days as they played a number of makeup games.

Monday’s game was the Prospects’ last before the post-season. The club finished its regular season with seven straight wins and a 29-27 record.
