The Glacier Twins bid for a Northwest Class A American Legion regional championship ended Monday, but not without a valiant effort.

The Twins fell to the Cody, Wyo. Cubs 2-1 in a pitcher’s dual in the consolation semifinal at the tourney in Alaska.

A.J. Wetsch went the distance for the Twins, giving up just four hits. The Twins got on the board first after Colten Parker drew a two-out walk. Vinny Smith then drove Cody pitcher John Beaudrie’s 1-0 pitch to deep center field for an RBI double.

But the Twins couldn’t muster any runs after that. Cody answered with a run in the bottom of the first and then added two more in the fifth to make it 3-1. Beaudrie then shut down the Twins, striking out seven in the game, to secure the victory.

Smith finished 2 for 4 with an RBI. Tristin Steinwand matched his teammates effort with a 2 for 4 performance of his own. Jayce Fagerland, Kyler Howke and Parker each recorded hits for Glacier.

There’s was plenty of drama in the Twins’ playoff run. They opened the tourney with a 8-4 win Aug. 8 against Fairbanks, Alaska. Wetsch got the win in that battle and Smith had a double and triple and two RBI in the victory.

The next day the Twins had a tough time against Pocatello, Idaho, losing 15-4. But the boys were still alive in the double elimination tournament and on Sunday they came from behind to beat North Medford, Ore., 13-11 after scoring three runs in the top of the ninth.

Fagerland doubled to right field and allowed Tyler Murphy to score from second to tie the game. Parker then came up to bat and hit his second double of the contest to drive in Fagerland and give the Twins a 12-11 lead.

Glacier ended the season with an overall record of 41-26 and 12-8 in regular season conference play.
