A thrilling 2 out basesloaded play at home gave the Regina Pacers the 5-4 win over the Regina WhiteSox as the Pacers claim this years Mosquito Division Title.

Kurtis Knaus capped off a Pacer 4-1 semi final win over the Regina WhiteSox with an amazing 3 pitch closing inning...2 pop ups and a comebacker. A record inning for pitching performances. The Pacers advanced to meet the SwiftCurrent Indians in the Peewee final.
