July 5 was a chilly evening compared to recent heatwave temperatures in the Canora area. However, it did not stop Kody Rock from having one of his classic dominant performances, as he carried the Supers on the mound and with the lumber to a 7 to 1 victory over the visiting Langenburg Legends, said Supers player/coach Greg Andreychuk.
鈥淭he Legends were able to plate a run in the top of the first on a single and a double, but Rock would only surrender two more hits and no runs the rest of the evening,鈥� said Andreychuk. 鈥淗e struck out 14 and walked none as he was in complete command of the strike zone.鈥�
With the bat, Rock was three for four including a double, two home runs, three runs scored, four RBI (runs batted in) and a stolen base. Zach Rakochy continued his solid season with a single, double, two runs and two RBI. His double broke the game open in the bottom of the sixth to give the Supers some much needed breathing room. Travis Mentanko, Kholton Shewchuk, and Derek Palagian each had one single apiece, as the offence capitalized at key moments.
With the win, the Supers would hold the tiebreaker with Langenburg if the two teams end up with the same record at the end of the season.
