The University of the Fraser Valley baseball club closed out the regular season in red-hot fashion, winning four of five games at DeLair Park.

The Cascades swept a four-game series vs. Edmonton Collegiate on Saturday and Sunday to run their win streak to six, before dropping a make-up game vs. the Thompson Rivers WolfPack on Monday to wrap up their schedule.

UFV (15-9) finishes the regular season in third place in the seven-team Canadian College Baseball Conference, and head to Kamloops for the league's playoff tournament this week (schedule TBA).
