Twins take down Loggers for first win

WHITEFISH — Held to one run in the opener, the Glacier Twins bounced back for a lightning-delayed 10-3 Legion baseball victory over Libby Loggers Wednesday night, their first win of the season. 

Michael Miller and West Amerman had RBI singles to highlight the Twins’ four-run first inning; in the sixth, Dawson Juntunen drove in one run with a single and Trenton Derosa drove in two with a base hit as Glacier (1-5) put up a five-spot. 

The game was delayed several minutes by lightning in the third inning.

Libby’s pitching, solid in a 6-1 win over the Twins in the first game, faltered in the nightcap with 10 walks issued. Connor Magnuson drew a bases-loaded walk in the first for the Twins; Treyson Murphy drew another in the sixth. 

On the bump for Glacier, Derek Juntunen threw 4 1-3 innings, allowing four hits, two walks and one earned run. He struck out four. Reed Boyer came on in the fifth inning — Bransen Holzer and Aidan Rose had just scored when Holzer’s fly was misplayed, cutting Glacier’s lead to 4-3 — and got the last eight outs. Boyer fanned six and walked two. 

Brody Gilmore had two hits of the Loggers' four hits; he and Tanner Wolfe each hit doubles. Libby fell to 7-16. 

Dawson Juntunen, Nolan Amerman, Miller and West Amerman all scored twice for the Twins. Murphy had two RBIs.
