It was the end of the line for the Moose Jaw Miller Express on Friday night when they lost out of the Western Major Baseball League Playoffs in four games to the Weyburn Beavers.

The Game 4 loss marked the end of the 2018 season for the Millers and the end of the career for four graduating players, as Brooks Benson, Travis Edgar, Scott Platt and Mitchell Robinson will be moving on after spending the past two summers on the field at Ross Wells Park.

"It's been awesome, I can't thank everybody enough -- my host parents, I've got a good relationship with Coach (Tanner Spencer) at school, Coach (Michael) Hunt and I have grown into a pretty good relationship, and then all of these guys, shoot we lose half our team and all of us come together and play for one and other," said Platt following last Friday’s Game 4 loss to Weyburn. 

Platt posted .284 average with 16 doubles, two home runs and 29 RBI in 92 career games with the Millers. The University of Nebraska-Kearney product said he's glad that he made the decision to come to Moose Jaw last summer.

"I'd never heard of the league before and then I came up here and didn’t know what to expect and next thing I know, this is just what I need and it really helped me in my career, so it's been a good league to come play in," said Platt.

Robinson was lights out for the Millers over his two seasons on the mound as he picked up the team's Pitcher of the Year honour in each of the last two years.

He said he really enjoyed his time in the WMBL, "It's been an awesome experience, something that I'm always going to be able to look back on in the future. I'm excited to one day tell my kids that I played ball for two summers in Canada, that's pretty sweet."

The Golden, Colorado product went 3-2 in 19 appearances over two seasons, posting a 2.87 earned run average with 96 strikeouts to just 24 walks in 106 2/3 innings.

Platt and Robinson have headed out on a Canadian road trip to the West Coast following the season before moving onto the next stage of their baseball careers.

Benson had an up-and-down summer for the Millers, posting a .203 average with five home runs and 18 RBI in 40 games this summer.

Benson, who hails from Parker, Colorado, said that he wouldn't trade the experience that he's gained over the past two summers with the Millers.

"This has been unreal," he said. "This isn't something that a lot of people can say that they've done, go up to Canada twice and play baseball for the summer."

Benson plans to finish up his degree this fall and then hopes to continue his baseball career on the independent circuit.

Edgar has been a lights out closer for Moose Jaw over the past two seasons. The six-foot-seven right hander was emotional after the game and said he wouldn't trade his two summers with the Millers for anything.

"I've loved it, getting to meet guys from all over, having guys that I've played with in the past back up here and I loved the community, the coaches and everyone involved," said Edgar.

Over two seasons, Edgar made 34 appearances for the Millers, striking out 42 over 31 2/3 innings with just 22 walks.

"I came here last summer actually being released from my last school, so I had to find a place to play after a rough junior year, so coming here and having success and being able to get back on the mound and get confidence was good going into my senior year," he said.

Edgar added that he hopes to continue his baseball career after this summer and was heading out to a few tryouts right after last Friday's game.
