The Coquitlam Reds fell further behind in the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings, but managed to finish up the weekend on a high note.
Sunday afternoon, in the second game of a doubleheader against the Whalley Chiefs, Coquitlam managed a comeback in the bottom of the sixth to overcome the visitor's two run lead.
Reds runners Matthew Clay, Zac Comeault and Christian Gilchrist all made it to home plate to take a 3-2 lead going into the seventh. Coquitlam's defence managed to stay strong in the final inning, allowing the club to cruise to its fourth victory this season.
But the rest of the weekend did not go as well for the home team.
Earlier on Sunday, Whalley crushed the Reds 8-0, with the fourth inning being a particularly problematic for Coquitlam, where the team allowed five runs.
The Reds' also struggled on Saturday when the visiting Nanaimo Pirates posted back-to-back wins in a doubleheader.
Coquitlam kept it close in the first game, losing 3-1, but were blown out in the second game of the day, when Nanaimo mercied the Reds 11-0.
The Reds are now 4-12 on the season and currently sit in ninth place.
REDLEGS
The Coquitlam Jr. Redlegs split their weekend doubleheader against Abbotsford Jr. Cardinals at Delair Park.
Abby overcame a brief 3-1 deficit in the first match to bounce back to an 8-4 victory, while Coquitlam won the second match 6-1.
