Miller Express Closing in on Playoff Berth
Thursday, 22 July 2010 22:41   

 

The Moose Jaw Miller Express have put an unbelievably slow start behind them. Now they're getting set to book their tickets to the playoffs.

Two wins over the Edmonton Prospects on Thursday night at Ross Wells Park move the Miller Express 4.5 games up on the Saskatoon Yellow Jackets for the final playoff spot in the WMBL Central. With just seven games to play, Moose Jaw looks like a sure bet to advance.

And who would've thought they would be in that position at the end June?

The Miller Express entered July losing nine of ten games at home, well back of Saskatoon. Now, they are winners in 11 of 16 games in the month of July to make their run up the standings.

Moose Jaw will take on Swift Current on Saturday, then meet Saskatoon on Sunday, with a chance to secure that final playoff spot.
