The Nova Scotia (1-0) and the Saskatchewan (0-1) both had scoring chances on Thursday, but it was the Nova Scotia that were able to capitalize on them as they pulled out a 3-2 win at Amedee Roy.

Zack Zinck's nine strikeouts helped the Nova Scotia to the victory. The Nova Scotia's pitcher tossed four innings of shutout ball and allowed only two hits.

Daniel Berg ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with his first loss of the year. He lasted just four innings, walked one, struck out one, and allowed two runs.
