FORT SASKATCHEWAN — It’s only two games into the Sunburst Baseball League regular season, but the Red Deer Riggers have already defeated the two top teams from last season.
They opened the season with a 7-0 win over the Parkland White Sox at home Tuesday, then downed the defending league champion Fort Saskatchewan A’s 6-1 in eight innings Wednesday.
Matt Davis started on the mound and allowed a run on two hits while Josh Edwards gave up a hit over two innings.
Mike Ronnie slammed a two-run home run for the Riggers while Matt Fay was three-for-five and Jason Chatwood two-for-three and six-for-eight on the season.
The Riggers return to action Tuesday when they host Edmonton Confederation Park at 7:30 p.m. at Great Chief Park.
