KALISPELL, MT - Both teams showcased strong pitching on Tuesday, but the Great Falls Voyagers found just enough offense to secure a 1-0 win over the Glacier Range Riders at Centene Stadium.
Grant Taylor delivered a solid start for the Range Riders, recording 17 outs while keeping the game scoreless. The lone run came in the bottom of the eighth when the Voyagers broke through with a sacrifice fly by Anthony Swenda.
Sam Lavin earned the win for Great Falls, tossing seven shutout innings while allowing just four hits, striking out 10, and walking one. Taylor took the hard-luck loss, giving up no runs over five and two-thirds innings with seven strikeouts, three walks, and just one hit allowed. Nolan Pender closed the door with a save.
Offensively, Glacier managed four hits—one each from Kingston Liniak, Gabe Howell, TJ Clarkson, and Xavier Casserilla. Great Falls matched that total, with Freddy Rojas Jr., Armando Albert, Jediar Hernandez, and Tommy Specht each collecting a hit.
Defensively, the Voyagers were flawless, committing no errors and turning a key double play. Hernandez led the way in the field with 11 putouts.
Glacier and Great Falls match up again tonight at 7:05 PM.
