Baseball Regina Alumni lead RedSox to second straight WMBL Title

The Regina RedSox defeated the Medicine Hat Mavericks 3 games to 1 to clinch the 2012 title. After a season of record crowds the RedSox won game 4 by a 7-3 score in front of a packed house in Medicine Hat. Baseball Regina grads were Mitch MacDonald, Geoff MacDonald, Landon Adelman, Justin Eiswirth (coach) Ryan Brezinski, Chris Untereiner and Jarret Duchscher.

MacDonald Has first Triple Crown Year in WMBL History

A trip to the WMBL Finals, a Triple Crown award - and now, a league MVP award. Mitch MacDonald put an exclamation point on his historic 2010 Western Major Baseball League season by being named the Old Dutch League MVP on Sunday, becoming the first Regina Red Sox player to win the award.The Regina product was also named to the WMBL 1st All-Star team.

In 36 games, MacDonald led the league in batting average (.476), homeruns (8) and runs batted in (48), and became the first WMBL Triple Crown winner in league history.

“Individually, I was fortunate to have a great season,” said MacDonald. “But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, having great hitters around you really allows you to focus on your at-bat and not worry about anything else.”

MacDonald was certainly surrounded by remarkable talent in 2010. David Fox, the Red Sox right fielder, was also named to the 1st All-Star team.

While MacDonald and Fox enjoyed individual success, the Red Sox as a team also enjoyed their most rewarding season in franchise history. The team made a trip to the WMBL Finals for the first time, and also eclipsed the 1,200 fan mark at Currie Field in a Game Five playoff win over Moose Jaw.
