State baseball: Whitefish loses thriller, Polson falls

MISSOULA — As the State Baseball tournament continues through the weekend, it will be tough to top that opener.

Down to its last strike, Belgrade got a game-tying double in the seventh inning Thursday at Ogren-Allegiance Field. Then, after Whitefish pushed across two runs in the eighth inning, the Panthers scored three in their half.

The winning run came across on a bases-loaded squeeze bunt by Brayton Van Dyken.
