Loggers topple Twins
WHITEFISH — Aidan Rose and Tanner Wolfe combined on a five-hitter, Brody Gilmore bunted home two runs and Libby beat the Glacier Twins 6-1 in the first game of a Western A Legion doubleheader Wednesday.
Gilmore’s first-inning grounder was misplayed for an error and gave the Loggers (7-15) a 2-0 lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Rose allowed five hits, two walks and one unearned run in 6 1-3 innings, fanning four; Wolfe got the last two outs, walking one and striking out one.
The Loggers went up 3-0 in the second inning, Kale Hall getting hit by a pitch and coming around on another hit by pitch and an error on Rose’s infield grounder.
In the third inning, the Twins’ Derek Juntunen got to second base on a dropped pop fly and came around on Dawson Juntunen’s RBI single. That cut the gap to 3-1 and it stayed that way until the top of the seventh.
There, Gilmore’s bases-loaded squeeze bunt ended up scoring two runs — Boe Miles from third, Bransen Holzer came around in from second base. Kale Riddle added an RBI on a fielder’s choice later in the frame.
The Twins (0-5) allowed just one earned run, but eight walks by four pitchers and four errors helped keep the baselines busy.
Glacier jumped out to a 4-0 lead on Libby in the second game, which was delayed in the bottom of the third by lightning.
Three singles, two errors and two walks gave the Twins a crooked number in the bottom of the first. Michael Miller had an RBI single; West Amerman had an RBI single before a bases-loaded walk issued to Connor Magnuson pushed across another run for a 4-0 lead.
Wolfe doubled and scored for Libby, and an error led to two runs in the fifth inning for the Loggers. Glacier won the nightcap 10-3.
