The Midget Parkland Expos hosted the Northwest Pirates for a pair of Canada Day games at Jubilee Park.
The Expos won game one of the day 4-3, then dropped game two 13-8.
Expo coach Mark Jacobs said they were after two wins to solidify their playoffs hopes – the top eight teams make provincials.
“We kinf of went into today kind of needing to win both,” he said, adding now wins the rest of the way become more crucial.
“It was disappointing not to win both ... but they came up with some big hits and sometimes we didn’t.”
