This summer Brandon has been coaching a collegiate summer team (the Okotok Dawgs). The team consists of players from all over the United States and Canada. The season started back in June and the team has played 50 games in 60 days. Needless to say we live at the ballpark right now. The team has had a great summer breaking the all time record for wins with 34 (the previous record was 32). They have won the first two series of the playoffs beating the Lethbridge Bulls in the first round 3 games to 1 and the Medicine Hat Mavericks 3 games to 1 in round 2. The Dawgs are now in the Championship series against the Regina Red Sox. The team started the first two games (series is best of 5) on the road and lost two close games 7-5 and 3-1. It was a long bus ride home of 7 hours and heading back things were not looking good as the Dawgs were playing in a must win game. However, the Dawgs were not ready for the season to end and bounced back with a 7-4 win at home in front of a sold out crowd of 4,000 fans. The series stands at 2-1 now as the Dawgs play in front of a sold out home crowd again tonight. If the Dawgs can win another game the series would go back to Regina for game 5 to decide the Champion.
