The Moose Jaw Miller Express left everything on the field in Game 3 of the East Division semifinal, but it was the Saskatoon Berries who emerged with a 16–12 win in 10 innings to take the series.
It was a game filled with emotion, grit, and offensive fireworks from both sides. The Express bats came alive throughout the night, with standout performances from Eduardo Saenz (3 hits, home run, 3 RBI), Thomas Soto (3 RBI), and R. Estrada (3 runs scored). Moose Jaw’s hitters produced clutch at-bats that kept the team in the game right until the end.
Back-and-Forth Battle
The Berries jumped out early, but the Express kept answering back. The turning point came in the eighth inning when Moose Jaw plated multiple runs to erase a deficit and keep the pressure on Saskatoon.
Berries’ Deep Bullpen Effort
Saskatoon used eight different pitchers in the game, relying heavily on their bullpen to navigate Moose Jaw’s relentless offense. While the Express found ways to break through against several arms, the Berries managed to hold off late threats and push the game into extras.
Respect for the Express Staff
Moose Jaw’s pitching staff worked hard under tough circumstances. In a game where both lineups were swinging freely, the Express arms continued to compete, recording key outs to give the offense a chance to rally. They battled through high-pressure situations inning after inning, demonstrating the fight and resilience that defined the team all season.
Looking Ahead
While this loss ends the Express’s 2025 playoff run, it also showcased the heart, talent, and unity of the team. From top-to-bottom, Moose Jaw proved they could go toe-to-toe with one of the league’s best, and the foundation has been set for another strong campaign next season.
The Moose Jaw Miller Express organization thanks the fans, volunteers, and community for the incredible support all season long.
