The Winkler Whips downed the visiting Altona Bisons 5-4 Friday night to cap off Champions Night at the Parkland ball diamonds.
The community moved its rained-out Canada Day fireworks to that evening and also brought in food vendors, inflatables, and a dunk tank to celebrate the many local sports teams who shone during their seasons over the past year.
The win came a few days after the Whips had crushed the Carman Cardinals 10-0 on the Tuesday.
Elsewhere in the Border Baseball League, the Morden Mud Hens found themselves on either side of the win-loss column.
They followed up a 13-2 victory against Carman Thursday night with a 4-3 loss to Cartwright Friday.
The Cardinals then got their revenge Sunday afternoon in Morden when they beat the Mud Hens 11-9.
Morden was also slated to host Baldur Monday night, though results were not available at press time.
Other league action over the weekend included the All-Stars game, which saw Border West fall to Border East 2-1 Saturday in Altona.
This week, Morden closes out the regular season in Baldur Tuesday night. Winkler is in Pilot Mound that same evening and then hits the road to wrap things up with a doubleheader in Baldur Thursday.
At press time, the Altona Bisons were in first place in the East Division standings with a record of 12-5. Morden is in the number two spot at 9-6 followed by Winkler (5-8) and Carman (3-11).
In the West Division, Cartwright is in first followed by Pilot Mound, Baldur, and Clearwater.
