Tyler Duncan (Sooke, B.C.) went deep twice to clinch the 2023 IBL home run title in Hamilton’s 7-3 win in Kitchener on Monday.

“Going 6-0 with a 1.08 ERA was more than enough to get Logan MacNeil the attention of voters for the West Coast League all-star team, as the Vancouver product who pitched at New Mexico JC in spring was named to the first team today.

Oddly, the HarbourCats led the WCL in just about every offensive category but no hitter was voted to the first team -- nine of the 10 first-team position players were from the South Division. For the HarbourCats, shortstop Hudson Shupe (Gonzaga), catcher/first baseman Tyler Davis (Fresno State) -- who was top five in home runs, hits and RBIs -- made the second team, as did lefty Davis Franklin (Puget Sound), who was 2-1 with four saves and a 1.44 ERA.”

Welland Jackfish outfielder Hogan Brown (Virginia Beach, Va.) has been named the Intercounty Baseball League’s Batter of the Week, while Kitchener Panthers left-hander Yamichel Pérez (Sancti Spiritus, Cub.) has earned top pitcher honours.

The Okotoks Dawgs lost 12-9 to the Medicine Hat Mavericks in the second game of the Western Canadian Baseball League championship series on Wednesday. The best-of-three final is now deadlocked at one game apiece. The third-and-deciding game will be played at Seaman Stadium on Thursday.
