A hit batter with the bases loaded and a wild pitch scored the tying and go-ahead runs for the Mead Panthers Saturday, in a 4-3 win over the Kalispell A Lakers at the Harp Memorial Legion tournament.

Easton Capser’s RBI groundout and Tyler Williams’ single to score Kaden Drish had put the Lakers up 3-2 in the fourth inning.

The Panthers out of Spokane used a single, an error and a one-out walk to load the bases in the sixth. Wes Anderson scored the go-ahead run.

Jackson Heino was the tough-luck pitcher for Kalispell, going the distance. He allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk, and struck out 10.

The Lakers (21-28-1) fell to 1-2 in the tournament ahead of Saturday’s late game against the Clark Fork Valley Riverdogs. That game had not ended at press time.

The tournament championship is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Sunday at Griffin Field.

Mariners 7, Reps 6

Mission Valley bult a 7-0 lead and weathered a six-run rally by the Helena Reps, at the Harp Memorial Saturday.

Dawson DuMont hit an RBI triple in the first and Alex Muzquiz hit another RBI triple in the fifth for the Mariners (39-12). DuMont then brought home Muzquiz with a single to make it 5-0.

An error on the Reps and an RBI gounder by Davis added two more runs, which was important because Helena sent 10 men to the plate in its half of the fifth, and closed to 7-6 on Grady Diehl’s two-run double and Brayden Beatty’s RBI single.

Beatty was caught stealing to end the threat, and Landon Shoemaker returned the side in order in the sixth and seventh innings for the save.
