7th Inning Stretch: Sean Bavis

At 6-foot-6 and 185 pounds, it’s no surprise that Sean Bavis is turning a lot of heads in his freshman season at Prairie Baseball Academy.

It isn’t just his size that’s doing the trick either, as the product of the Rockies – he has roots in Banff, Canmore, Cochrane and Calgary – has been fantastic on the mound as well.

7th Inning Stretch: Colin Baxter

There comes a point in every baseball player’s career where they realize “this is what I have.”

That’s where University of Calgary Dinos utilityman Colin Baxter is as he continues to lead the charge for the team as they look towards the Canadian College Baseball Conference World Series at the end of May.

7th Inning Stretch: Tetsu Nishida

It might be one of the most potent infields that Todd Hubka has assembled at Prairie Baseball Academy in quite some time.

Led by shortstop and leadoff hitter Tetsu Nishida, the Dawgs enter the season looking to get back on top of the Canadian College Baseball Conference world for the first time since 2017.

7th Inning Stretch: Eric Machej

He stepped up as a postseason performer last summer and Eric Machej is ready to take another step forward as a member of the Okotoks Dawgs this year.

Machej made time for Alberta Dugout Stories to answer a few questions for a feature we call 7th Inning Stretch.

7th Inning Stretch: Matt Wilkinson

He was a star at the Little League World Series several years ago and an effective pitcher as one of the youngest players in the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) this summer.

So, it’s not surprising that Matt Wilkinson has been selected to take part in the Tournament 12 (T12) annual showcase tournament, which is taking place at Rogers Centre in Toronto from Sept. 17-21.

We caught up with the Dawgs Academy pupil and asked him seven questions as part of our 7th Inning Stretch series.
