Two days later the Twins swept a doubleheader against the Libby Loggers. They won the first game 3-2 and the second game 3-0.
Twins pitcher Austin Robins got the win in the first game, and A.J. Wetsch threw a one-hitter in the second game for the shutout.
Wetsch had a no-hitter going into the fifth inning until Libby got a single off him. Wetsch also had an RBI double at the plate.
At the Prairie Cardinal Tournament in Post Falls, Idaho, on June 13-15, the Twins lost to the Spokane Crew, 8-5, but beat Moscow, Idaho 13-2 and Tri County 8-3.
Jesse Walburn went 3 for 3 at the plate and had four RBIs against Spokane, while James Ratzlaff went 2 for 2 with an RBI.
