IT'S been an eventful year for the North Shore Junior Twins.
First they rang up a 21-game winning streak spanning from June 9 to July 3. Then pitcher Braeden Toikka, a Sutherland secondary student, threw a no-hitter, allowing just two baserunners - one walk and one hit-by-pitch - in a six-inning, 10-0 shutout of the Abbotsford Junior Cardinals July 29.
The Twins wrap up regular season play in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League today, hosting a doubleheader at Parkgate Park against the Victoria Junior Mariners starting at noon.
This weekend they're hoping to lock up first place in the league heading into the provincial championship tournament running Aug. 8-11 at Langley's McLeod Park. Heading into the final weekend of play the Twins sat atop the standings with a 33-7 record. For updated provincial scores and schedules visit bcpbl.com.
