BELGRADE - The Glacier Twins used a five-run rally in the top of the seventh inning to down Belgrade 8-7 in the second game of an American Legion baseball doubleheader.

Glacier also rode the strong mound performance by Cody Hill to win the opener 8-2.

Hill finished with 10 strikeouts and limited Belgrade to just two hits.

Glacier (4-4) plays at Bozeman.

"We've lost a few games in the seventh, so it was good to be on the other side of that," Glacier Twins coach Lindsay Fansler said.
