CALGARY, AB- Lots of runs and hits for the Edmonton Collegiate Hawks this weekend (Apr 10-11) in Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference action. The Hawks took three of four games against the host University of Calgary Dinos. This included a sweep on Saturday (Apr 11) by scores of 11-0 and 14-5. The first game went only six innings. The teams split on Friday (Apr 10) with the Dinos winning the opener 11-3 before Edmonton outgunned Calgary 14-10. The victories raised the Collegiate Hawks record to 9-7 while the Dinos fell to 5-7. Edmonton scored 47 runs on 44 hits in the four-game set. The Collegiate Hawks also continued to set franchise records this weekend including home runs in a single contest with 6. Collegiate Hawks Assistant Head Coach Levi Moon had this to say about the offense and run production: “Not surprising but we need to find consistency in our bats from game to game. We have shown time and time again this spring that we can produce a high scoring inning out of seemingly nowhere. But I feel we can still do a better job at manufacturing runs, especially in close 1-2 run ball games.” He adds, “ The approach at the plate has been the biggest reason for our success. The more the guys buy into the team approach, the more success they have. It is exciting to see their hard work pay off.” The Dinos and Collegiate Hawks will close out the 2026 Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference regular season at RE/MAX Field when they will square off in a doubleheader on Sunday, May 17th. Opening pitches will be 1 PM and 4 PM MDT.

COMMENTS FROM ASSISTANT COACH LEVI MOON: “I really liked our temperament, especially in the last two games of the series. Even when we fell behind early (2-0 in game 4) against Calgary’s top performing pitcher, there was a confidence that we were going to come back and win that game. There wasn’t a panic, which how it felt early in the season. We know we can score and score big at any time. On top of that, Sam Honke and Logan Colville both had huge starts on Saturday for us. That gave our offense a chance to get the lead.” “It was exciting to see Virostek, Smith, Daku, Blackburn and Morris all pick up their first regular season home runs in a Hawks uniform.” NEXT UP FOR THE COLLEGIATE HAWKS: The Collegiate Hawks will ‘officially’ have their home opener next weekend when the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack will pay a visit to RE/MAX Field. The teams will play a single game on Friday, April 17th at 6PM MDT. That will be followed by a doubleheader Saturday, April 18th at 1 PM and 4 PM MDT. The series will finish on Sunday, April 19th at 10 AM MDT. The WolfPack have won six of ten CCBC regular season matchups between the two teams. Last time they met in Edmonton was 2024. They played two games on April 29, 2024. The WolfPack won the opening game 4-3 with the Collegiate Hawks hammering TRU 17-0 in the second. Coach Moon says the three wins over Calgary sets things up well for them going into the TRU showdown. “ I think our pitching took a huge step in the right direction. We can still do a better job coming out of the bullpen filling up the zone especially with multi run leads. Defensively, I think our best is yet to come. We made far too many mistakes this weekend so that’s something I’d love to see improved heading into our TRU series.” The WolfPack are coached by former Edmonton Trapper Ray Chadwick. The former major leaguer has been the coach at Thompson Rivers for 26 years.
