Amerman, Kroger help Twins sweep Bucs

FLORENCE — Strong pitching and Nolan Amerman’s big day at the plate led to a Class A Legion doubleheader for the Glacier Twins Tuesday, 5-3 and 4-3 over the Bitterroot Bucs.

Amerman hit a triple in both games but was especially tough on the Bucs in the opener, going 3-for-3. His RBI single sparked a two-run first inning for the Twins (19-5); then he doubled and scored on Matthew Mitts’ RBI single in the third for a 4-0 lead.  

Amerman’s triple came in the seventh inning, when he scored an insurance run on Maddox Muller’s RBI groundout. Jake McIntyre also tripled, driving in a run in the second.
