Coquitlam Redlegs first basemen Brenden Henits makes the catch during an 11-1 victory over the Victoria Jr. Mariners. Coquitlam won both games against the Vancouver Island team on Saturday at Mundy Park, picking up their second 5-0 victory of the day later in the afternoon. However, things did not go as well for the B.C. Premier Junior Baseball League team on Sunday, where they dropped both games to the North Shore Twins.

It was two steps forward and two steps back in the standings for the Coquitlam Jr. Redlegs.

The team posted a doubleheader victory Saturday at Mundy Park, when the club hosted the Victoria Jr. Mariners. Coquitlam defeated the visitors 11-1 in the first game before shutting them out 5-0 in the second match of the afternoon. Both Brett Sheppard and Terrell Rogers got the wins on the mound. 

But things went sideways on Sunday for the Redlegs, who could not contain the North Jr. Twins during another double header at Mundy Park.

The visitors put up three runs in the first and fifth innings to eventually win game one 10-1, before defeating the Redlegs 9-6 in the second match. Coquitlam is currently in the middle of the B.C. Premier Junior Baseball League standings with a 14-14 record, two games back of the fourth place Twins.
