KAMLOOPS — After a dismal first half to the West Coast League baseball campaign, the Kamloops NorthPaws are showing signs of improvement.

The NorthPaws toppled the Edmonton Riverhawks 7-1 on Sunday (July 8) in the Alberta capital to claim their third win in four games and their sixth triumph in their last 10 outings.

Sawyer Jensen pitched a complete game to pick up the win for the Paws, allowing seven hits and one run over nine innings, while racking up five strikeouts.

TJ Watcher had a good day at the plate, recording two hits, three RBI and one run for the visitors, who endured a 14-game losing streak earlier this season.

The WCL season consists of two halves featuring 27-games apiece.

Eight teams — four each from the North Division and South Division — will qualify for the post-season, including the winners of the first and second halves of the season and the two teams from each division with the best overall records that did not win either of the halves (or otherwise qualify).

Kamloops is 2-1 in second-half North Division standings after compiling a record of 7-19 in the first half. The Riverhawks are 1-2 after posting an 18-9 mark in the first half.

The NorthPaws are slated to host the Port Angeles Lefties (0-3 in the second half) on Tuesday (July 9), a 6:35 p.m. start at Norbrock Stadium.
