Harry Griffith Tournament

Glendive 8, Libby 0

MILES CITY — Glendive pitcher Anthony Berg allowed just one hit as the Blue Devils blanked Libby at the Harry Griffith Tournament. 

Berg pitched six innings of near perfect baseball, striking out seven batters and allowing just four runners to reach base. Andrew Haggerty picked up the lone hit off the Blue Devils’ ace, singling in the second inning. The Loggers got two runners on that inning, when Dylon Lane picked up a walk in the next at bat, but couldn’t score in what turned out to be the best opportunity of the afternoon for the Loggers. They got a runner into scoring position just one more time in the game. 

Glendive had no trouble getting runners on base, picking up 15 hits, 13 in the final three innings. Berg was stellar from the plate as well, going 3 for 4 with a double, a triple and two RBIs. 

Libby will play for third place at the tournament today.
