Glacier Twins go 11 innings with Mission Valley, win over Clarkfork

The Glacier Twins lost a long one at home against Mission Valley Friday night in Legion baseball — 6-3 in a game that went 11 innings.

Cymain Kauley and Dylan Davis combined for a 7-hitter for the Mariners, who knotted the game at 2-2 in the seventh on Cole Wadworth’s sacrifice fly.

Both teams scored in the 10th inning: Dumont hit a fielder’s choice grounder that scored Aiden Gfoerer; Mikey Glass’ sacrifice fly brought in AC Chilton, who’d drawn a leadoff walk, for the Twins.

In the 11th Davis led off the inning by getting hit by a pitch to start a 3-run rally that proved to be the difference in the game as the Twins couldn’t score in the bottom of the 11th.

Josiah Ruther’s RBI single keyed the Twins (4-1) taking a 2-1 lead in the first, after Dumont had an RBI groundout in the top of the inning for the Mariners.

Mason Peters threw five strong innings for the Twins, with four hits and no walks allowed, and four strikeouts. Talon Murphy followed with four sharp innings as well.

Earlier in the week, on Wednesday, the Twins won 10-0 over the Clarkfork Riverdogs.

Glacier took a substantial lead in the bottom of the third inning after scoring six runs.

Twins’ Hayden Meehan pitched a no hitter over eight innings. Glass had two hits to lead Glacier at bat.

The Twins A team is 4-1 so far this season.

Glacier was set to host Eureka at home on Tuesday after press time. Then the Twins will travel to Libby on Wednesday before hosting the Riverdogs again on Saturday. Game time is 1 p.m. at Memorial Field.
