Twins split with Missoula; Electrics sweep Lakers
The Daily Inter Lake
MISSOULA - Justin Collom went the distance and limited Missoula to five hits and the Glacier Twins rallied for 3-2 victory and a Western AA doubleheader split with Missoula on Monday in American Legion baseball play.
Glacier scored three runs in the top of the seventh with two outs to pull it out.
Glacier's Roo Grubb scored the first run on a bases loaded walk and then Scott Yogodzinski's hit trickled into the outfield to score the final two runs of the inning.
In the bottom half of the seventh with two outs, Missoula's Travis Johnsen doubled to right. Collom, however, got Taylor King to fly out to right field to end it.
Collom finished with five strikeouts.
Missoula won the opener, 9-3. The big inning for the Mavs was a four-run sixth.
Brad Bell doubled for Glacier in that contest and Collom went 2-for-3.
Glacier is now 3-4 in conference play while Missoula is 4-2.
Glacier is back in action Wednesday at Medicine Hat.
