The Moose Jaw Mallards dropped a tight game on Tuesday night.

The Regina Buffaloes came into Moose Jaw and downed the Mallards, 9-7, in Baseball Regina Bantam AA League action.

Moose Jaw battled right until the end in the loss, putting runners on second and third with only one out in the bottom of seventh, but two stellar defensive plays by Regina ended the threat and the game.

The Mallards will get a chance to avenge their loss right away on Wednesday when they hit the road to Swift Current to face the 57s. First pitch is at 6:30 p.m.
